Shas Positions for the 2026 Election
No official platform from Shas was found for the 2026 election. This page shows direct, dated quotes from the party and its representatives, based on the public sources shown alongside the content.
We couldn't find a detailed, official platform published by this party for this election.
We checked Shas's official site (which returns no accessible content) and IDI's tracker. The only file found under the name "Shas platform" (hosted by Knesset TV) is an old document from a past election cycle — it references targets "by the end of 2007" and the 17th Knesset — so it does not reflect current 2026 positions. No up-to-date platform document was found.
Reported positions and statements
No official, detailed platform has been published yet — direct, dated quotes are shown below until a full platform exists.
“Shas distinguishes between someone whose vocation is Torah study and someone who isn't studying Torah: according to faction chairman Yinon Azoulai, someone who isn't studying shouldn't get a service deferment, but should be allowed to serve in tracks adapted to the Haredi way of life.”
