I watched in the last two months lots of discussion in the French-speaking media from Israel about the risks and advantages of the political comeback of Aryeh Deri. Charismatic, young, highly appreciated in the Moroccan environments and supported by Rav Ovadia Yosef and accordingly, benefiting of a large support of the Sephardim. He took bribes 155,000$ worth as minister of Interior, but many would say that in comparison with other corrupt politicians he went into prison and paid for this.
Accepted or not, loved or hated, Deri will continue to play an important role in the Israeli politics in the coming months. Some even say that he could be the only one that could topple Bibi and offer an alternative to Tzipi. Wait and see.
