My Way News - Ultra-Orthodox party joins Netanyahu's coalition
AP reports: "Shas' presence would help cement the coalition's tilt the right. The party, which represents Jews of Middle Eastern descent, opposes giving up any part of Jerusalem as part of a future peace deal and doesn't even want the matter discussed in future peace talks."

Comment: This is good news for those concerned about the direction of Mideast peace talks. The addition of this nationalist party to the coalition should make it much more difficult for those who would give even more land to the Palestinians and give up parts of Jerusalem.
