“Aryeh Deri decided: He won’t be waging an ethnic campaign.” The inner circle of the Shas leader and minister of the interior released that headline on the evening of April 2 in response to the decision to open a criminal investigation against him on charges of alleged corruption.
In their press briefing, Deri’s spokesmen explained that he had instructed those closest to him “not to wage a whiny campaign focusing on victimhood, because he is no longer where he was so many years ago.” Evidently, they are referring to Deri's conviction for corruption in 1999.
