Shas Minister of Knesset Shlomo Benizri and his patron, kabbalist Rabbi Reuben Elbaz, have been charged with bribery. Benizri is number six on the Shas list. Shas won 13 seats and is expected to be a coalition partner with Ehud Olmert's Kadima. Benizri will not be allowed to hold a cabinet position until the trial is completed – if he is found innocent.
