Shas chairman Aryeh Deri has withdrawn from the party's Knesset list and will not serve in the 26th Knesset, following the party's disappointing election performance. Two other candidates, Moshe Abutbul and Dror Amos, have also withdrawn from the list. Their departures will allow Uriel Buso and Yossi Taieb to enter the Knesset, according to Israeli media reports. Deri's decision does not mean he is stepping down as Shas chairman. He will remain at the helm of the party after its Council of Torah Sages rejected his request to resign from the leadership following the election results.
