Shas' Deri: This was the hardest campaign we had'

Chairman of the Orthodox Shas party, Aryeh Deri, said Tuesday that "this was the hardest campaign" that Shas endured.

"I am telling you with certainty," he continued, "any other party that would have undergone half of the breakdowns we endured in the past year would not have survived, would have broken down, would have collapsed. Maran (Rabbi Ovadia Yosef) stood by us."
