Chairman Aryeh Deri of the haredi-religious Shas Party has responded to recent statements by YIsrael Beytenu Avigdor Liberman by writing on Facebook, "Liberman went a step further, beyond his political and moral abyss, and clearly stated that he would prefer to sit with members of the Joint List [of predominantly Arab parties] led by Ayman Odeh and Ahmed Tibi - whom he has called a 'fifth column' and 'terrorists', not with us - his brothers and sisters - the traditional, orthodox and haredim."
