Member of Knesset Michael Malkieli (Shas) said, Sunday evening, "I recommend MK Tzipi Hotovely to invest all her strength in the primaries in the Likud and not to try to make a political round at the expense of the Shas movement, which is going to surprise in the upcoming elections with the support of new and large publics."
He was responding to Hotovely's statement on Israel Defense Forces Radio, that "Minister Deri, on his refusal to lower the threshold, could lead to the death of Shas in the elections."
