Former Shas MK Nissim Zeev referred to the recording which was revealed this week in which Interior Minister Aryeh Deri expressed his scorn for Rabbi Shlomo Amar and said this proves that Deri "has neither Torah nor good attributes."
Zeev stressed that "we must protest this desecration of the Torah's honor," adding that only if Deri leaves the party will it survive, and "since Deri took control, the party has declined in the polls."
