Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has withdrawn to a Tel Aviv hotel since election night, communicating only through written statements alleging election fraud, while Shas party leader Aryeh Deri has largely avoided public engagements following his party’s electoral setback. The veteran political partners have not been seen together publicly or spoken since polling day, despite Shas announcing it would recommend Netanyahu to form a government. Their absence from public view contrasts sharply with typical post-election coalition-building activities.
