Only this isn't true Deri (of Shas and convicted felon) is in the war cabinet for crying out loud.
You are really naive if you think they don't get a say in everything that goes on, and deliberately ignoring reality if you can't admit that there diversion of funds for their own causes and communities has deprived the rest of the country not only of the security it needed on 7.10, but of health and social and community funding for everyone else, for decades.
The amount of power the ultra orthodox hold is obscene.
No, he's not.
Also, he's barred from being a minister as per Israeli's supreme court ruling (exactly because he's been convicted with fraud multiple times), so I highly doubt he could be appointed to the war cabinet even in theory.
One could argue that the ultra orthodox parties are active behind the scenes, but there's no indication of that anywhere. Israel has free press, so this type of thing would probably come out as rumors at the very least (By contrast, there were reports he was the de-facto minister of social services after the supreme court ruling).
Not to diminish the political power they hold, but in this specific case there isn't any indication they exert said power.
