Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein is not taking any chances, ordering round-the-clock Knesset security for MK Eli Yishai. Edelstein explains that in light of threats against Yishai and his family due to his break from Shas and launch of a new party, he decided the security is required.
Knesset security officials have evaluated the situation and due to the harsh response against Yishai in connection to the release of the video depicting Aryeh Deri in a bad light, blaming him for the video, the MK will have a full time security detail fearing extremists may decide to attempt to attack Yishai. Officials are aware that making things more worrisome are the statements released to the media by Rabbi David Yosef Shlita, who blames Yishai “For the churban of Sephardi Jewry”.
Yishai has distanced himself from the video, insisting he and his people had nothing to do with it but his words fell on deaf ears. As far as the Deri camp is concerned, Yishai masterminded the release of the video to Channel 2 News.

Loyal to Deri?
Vote for shas.
Plain and simple.
violence is not the answer but he is a traitor. he is derailing shas for personal gain.
Spectrum. there’s a air going around mainly in USA something against deri didn’t yet work it out why. Anyway i hope you know who made deri leader MARAN he had his reasons why he made him even he liked yishai better let’s say maran was still a live people would vote for shas with no doubt so if you vote for yishai you going against what maran wanted he told yishai after he made deri leader do not open a new party so when you vote SHAS you vote for MARAN’S party not deri when you for yishai party you are voting for yishai.
