Shas chairman Aryeh Deri responded to Liberman's statement at the national camp conference " A cat screams 'meow' when he wants to drink milk, Liberman screams at the Haredis when he wants attention. I responded to the president's request, I will go all in to form a unity government."

Deri added, "I responded to the President's request, I am going to do everything possible to establish a unity government without Lapid. Until now, I could not do that because Liberman put mines in my way."
