The Shas Party is an orthodox political party in Israel, which emerged as a significant force in Israeli politics. It was at odds with Menachem Schneerson, the Lubavitcher Rebbe, and gained influence within the Likud Party-controlled Israeli government.
In 1987, the Iran-Israel Joint Committee redirected funds from the Lubavitcher yeshivahs to the Shas yeshivahs, as the committee and Schneerson parted ways. The Likud Party considered the support of Ovadia Yousef, an Iraqi-Jewish rabbi who controlled Shas, essential due to his large following in Israel's Middle Eastern Jewish communities.1
