Mayor of Haifa Yona Yahav went to meet with Minister of Interior, and more specifically head of Shas, Aryeh Deri to try to make a deal to have Shas support him in the upcoming mayoral race in Haifa. Yahav is a bit beleaguered, as Degel Hatorah has been very anti Yahav, claiming he discriminates against their community in Haifa. Meanwhile Aguda has already declared support for him.
I don't know what will come out of it, nor do I have an opinion on Yahav's status as mayor of Haifa. The most interesting thing about this meeting is the following picture (posted in Haredim10)
Deri is wearing sunglasses indoors, in his office? Who does he think he is - Rav Ovadya Yosef?
