Eli Yishai reveals: My Rabbi told me to meet Shelly Yachimovich

Last Thursday, we revealed here in B'Chadrei Charedim under the heading stage of despair, a secret meeting was held between senior Shas official and an official of the Avodah Party.

It said then:

"Until last night there was still hope in the hearts of the vertices of the religious parties that the Avodah Party will join the new Netanyahu government, whilst crouching and rewarding Shelly Yacimovich with generous honors, including bending with regard to the economic doctrine.

"But last night, a meeting held between a senior of one of the ultra-Orthodox parties with a senior of the Avodah Party, it was clarified to the orthodox, beyond any doubt, there is no chance of that." Meeting results - which imposed a total blackout - delivered to all appropriate parties, and the spiritual leaders of the Orthodox movements were updated.

"Internalization of the new situation penetrated this morning by all concerned. They realized that their only option is a stubborn fight in the opposition against the Netanyahu government and its policies, the burden on equality and on the brutal cuts planned.

"Haredi parties and the Avodah Party goes out together to battle, perhaps the battle of their lives. Avodah will do it in her belief in the way of the economics and out of hope to spring an impressive number of votes for the next elections, whilst raising poor people who suffer the Netanyahu policy. Haredim will fight mainly from the teachings of their faith, but also due to the situation they find themselves due to a lack of choice. "

Now we can publish that the official in question was Minister Eli Yishai, leader of Shas, who met with the Avodah Party Yachimovich herself, under the orders of his mentor Hgr"o Yosef.

The approval to publish this was granted after false reports circulated today, according to which, allegedly, the rabbi asked to go and meet Yachimovich himself. No one in the household had heard of such a request, including the Shas leaders. Thing is, Rabbi Eli Yishai instructed to meet with Yachimovich, and other leaders of Shas do all they can on the front opposite the Avodah Party.

As early as last Thursday was "the step of despair", when Shas leaders have internalized and understood that there is no point and the forefront with Avodah-is lost.
