The Prime Minister, ministers, MKs, public figures and media figures participated last night in Simchat Hasheva congratulations for the daughter of Shas Chairman Aryeh Deri.
Among the participants were Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife Sara, opposition leader Boozi Herzog, Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman and his wife (who came despite unfounded rumors that the good friends were having a fight), Justice Minister Tzipi Livni, Transportation Minister Yisrael Katz, Minister Silvan Shalom, Interior Minister Gideon Sa'ar, Economy Minister Naftali Bennett, Deputy Minister of Religious Affairs Eli Ben Dahan, Minister Yuval Steinitz, MK Ofer Shelah Mish Atid, Deputy Foreign Minister MK Ze'ev Elki, MK Ariel Atias, MK Yitzhak Cohen, MK Meshulam Nahari, MK Avraham Machali, MK Itzik Shmuli, Benny Fisher, British Ambassador to Israel Matthew Gold, Governor Aharon Wolfson, and more.
During a speech given by Aryeh Deri at the event, he attacked the decrees imposed by the Netanyahu government on the Haredi public. The prime minister and his wife listened attentively. "We have differences of opinion, we each have different views," Deri said, "I accept and understand the concern of those who worry about what will happen to the continuation of the people of Israel, how much they will work and how much they will study, I accept everything. I just say: Please, remember that the Jerusalem of Ma'ale, which every bride and groom remember at the time of the wedding, is what preserved the people of Israel during thousands of years of exile, it is what preserved us in Russia, Morocco and Tunisia and everywhere in the world. What preserved us? The Jerusalem of Ma'ale.".
