Shas spiritual leader, the Rishon LeZion Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef, instructed former minister Ariel Attias, who heads Shas' negotiation team, to inform Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee Chairman Yuli Edelstein's conditions for advancing the draft law mean 'the end of the government.' Simultaneously, Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef ordered to maintain 'open channels with all Knesset parties for future cooperation after elections.'
