Rishon L’Tzion HaGaon HaRav Moshe Shlomo Amar Shlita and Rabbi Yaakov Ariel Shlita are expected to be meeting with Maran HaGaon HaRav Ovadia Yosef Shlita in the coming days, Kikar Shabbat reports. In all likelihood, Rabbi Chaim Druckman Shlita will be present as well. Rav Druckman has been the impetus behind pushing for the deal by which Shas will support R’ Ariel’s candidacy in exchange for Bayit Yehudi supporting the reelection of R’ Amar.
There have been conflicting reports over recent days signaling Rav Ovadia’s support and opposition for the deal. It is expected the meeting is intended to ascertain the Gadol Hador’s position on the proposed deal.

Can a deal be trusted to be executed faithfully from each side involved? There seems to be ‘bad blood’ flowing between these two parties, can they partner on this issue.
