Shas co-leader Aryeh Deri has been summoned to appear before a Yerushalayim beis din in a case filed against him stemming from his support of the Oslo Agreement. Deri joins his chareidi MK colleague, MK Moshe Gafne of Yahadut Hatorah, who was targeted in a similar Din Torah last year for his role in permitting the government to expel the Jewish community of Gaza in 2005, Ariel Sharon’s “Disengagement Plan”.

INN reports this suit was filed against Deri by Geula Hershkowitz, whose husband and son were murdered in terror attacks, and she feels this is the result of the Oslo process.

As was the case in the hazmana against Gafne, the case is being heard by the Jerusalem Monetary Beis Din. Hershkowitz explains that Deri played a role in the Oslo Agreement passing in Knesset, and that has led to the death of over 1,500 Israelis as well as over 14,000 people being injured and/or permanently maimed in attacks. She adds there are over 240 widows and more than 2,700 orphans as a result of Oslo.

She is seeking to have the beis din rule that Deri may no longer as a MK.
