Fear over the return of Aryeh Deri to the Shas party is what caused Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to run in a joint list with Avigdor Lieberman and the Yisrael Beytenu party, Moshe Feiglin said on Thursday.

Feiglin, who heads the Manhigut Yehudit (Jewish Leadership) faction of the Likud party, said during an appearance at the Gordon College in Haifa, "Aryeh Deri shuffled the cards. There was concern that the Shas Party would join a list from the left side of the political after Deri’s return into a leadership position."
