Yesh Atid MK Ofer Shelach defended former MK Yaakov Peri, who resigned on Wednesday over suspicions of handing Aryeh Deri classified intel regarding a police investigation against him while he ran the Shin Bet. "Only a few in Israel can say that they contributed to its security like Yaakov Perr," said Shelach. "Few carried the responsibility they had and only a few showed up for work every day to save the lives of Israelis".
