Former Shas MK Rabbi Chaim Amsellem is confident regarding the outcome of the general election for his new ?? ??? party. During an interview Sunday with Kol Chai Radio�s Noam Zeigman, the rav predicted he will receive 7 mandates in the next Knesset.
When asked if Aryeh Deri�s return to the political arena will have an effect on his election bid, Amsellem signaled it will not, stating �It won�t hurt or assist�.
Amsellem addressed what he calls �this new mutation�, a litvish Sephardi, which he feels has resulted in �tens of thousands of poor, needy, ignorant, and dependent Sephardim. That is Aryeh Deri� he concluded.
