Yulia Malinovsky: 'I greeted Aryeh Deri and he simply ignored me''

Shas Chairman and Interior Minister Aryeh Deri declared on Thursday afternoon, at a special faction meeting, that he will henceforth boycott his longtime friend Avigdor Lieberman.

""We never knew we had such a tough ideological opponent," Deri said at the time. "We knew we had a person who may not be religious in his personal life, but is a friend and comrade of the Haredi public.".

He stated: "I will not continue to be in contact with Lieberman, the story is over.".

But now it turns out that Deri is boycotting not only the chairman of Yisrael Beiteinu, but the entire anti-Haredi faction.

MK Yulia Malinovsky tweeted this afternoon on her Twitter account: "And here's the news from the Knesset plenum: I just greeted MK Aryeh Deri and he simply ignored me. Whoever doesn't want to talk to me is their loss.".
