Deri to Municipality of Jerusalem? Atias to business? - Deny

Is MK Aryeh Deri planning to retire from the Shas party and run as candidate for mayor of Jerusalem? Is MK Ariel Atias planning to resign from the Knesset and go into the business world?

Both of these rumors made their way recently in the news. "Housing Minister, leader of Shas, will first draw personal conclusions that would press the opposition party. Minister considers retiring to the business sector, "the report said.

Deri was also reported that he planned on retiring from the Knesset and decided to run for mayor of Jerusalem against the incumbent mayor, Nir Barkat.

This morning, on his Facebook page, Deri denied the rumor. "I am hearing updates on my political intentions through various reports in the media. The only thing I do, is the continued rehabilitation of the the Shas movement and positioning in the war and planned brutal and difficult cuts.

Shas is going to be a fighting opposition and will fulfill its promises to the voters also from the Opposition benches. Against the bourgeois government planned in the Knesset I'll play the voices of those who have been trying to silence them, I'll put a mirror to the face of the government and I will not cease until the class gap in Israel would cease to exist. "

Atias's rumor also won a sweeping denial, and his close associates wondered about the source of knowledge. It is true that MK Atias had always dreamed of retiring and beyond the business world (from all vertices of Shas he is perhaps the most appropriate in the area), but from here to retire now and do it in a press release, it is farfetched.
