Shas MK Michael Malkieli says that his party opposes any move to lower the electoral threshold after Meretz head MK Tamar Zandberg says she was approached by coalition officials to get her support for the move.
"Shas is strongly opposed to lowering the threshold," he said, adding that "Shas, headed by Minister Aryeh Deri, is in a great momentum and in the upcoming elections for the local authorities will prove it. Many representatives of the city councils see this in every city and in every community, and anyone who travels around the country sees this, and the connection between senior Likud and Meretz officials is very puzzling. "
