Speaking on Radio 103 FM today, Shas MK Michael Malchieli commented on his party's recent support of PM Netanyahu, and suggested that the policy would continue.

"In recent campaigns, Shas supported Netanyahu and is still supporting Netanyahu now," he said. "We hope that together with him we will be able to form a large bloc and a stable government with the ability to govern."

Malchieli added, however, that, "When it comes to issues related to preserving Jewish tradition and also those related to welfare, we do not trust Netanyahu - only ourselves."
