Shas Jerusalem Councilman Asher Mishali is likely to be removed from his position by party leader Aryeh Deri, Kikar Shabbos News reports. He will be replaced by a new personality and there is still a vacancy to be filled as Councilman Michael Michaeli was removed from the council by Deri to become a MK.
Deri has sent messages of late to Mishali, who is aligned with former party leader Eli Yishai, preparing him for the move. He is expected to be moved to another position in the party. Mishali asked to be permitted to continue for a few more months to permit him in completing a project he began to assist youths who went of the path.
Deri is moving cautiously, aware Mishali is close to Rosh Yeshivat Porat Yosef HaGaon Rav Moshe Tzadka, aware that if he get into a direct confrontation with him it will result in the involvement of the rosh yeshiva.
