1988

Deri was sworn in on 22 December 1988.

At 29, he was the youngest government minister in Israel's history.

As interior minister, he abolished the censorship of plays in theaters.

When the Israeli Labor Party sought to break away from the government and create a narrow coalition, Deri and Haim Ramon, a Knesset member from the Labor Party, initiated negotiations to create a Labor-Haredi alignment.

1990

A motion of no confidence was submitted on 15 March 1990, but five Knesset members on behalf of Shas party were absent from the vote.

This agreement was later nicknamed "The dirty trick".

Two rabbis, Menachem Mendel Schneerson and Elazar Shach, strongly opposed cooperating with the political left.

As a result, the deal fell through, and the Labor Party chairman, Shimon Peres, failed to form a coalition.

At the end, Yitzhak Shamir, Likud chairman, established a government of Likud–Right–Haredis, where Deri continued to serve as Interior Minister.

After re-entering the Knesset in the 2022 elections, he briefly secured posts as both Interior Minister and Health Minister in the thirty-seventh government.

Deri was also set to serve as Deputy Prime Minister for the administration.

However, due to a January 2023 ruling by the Supreme Court of Israel that Deri was not eligible for a ministerial position due to his criminal convictions and the terms of his plea deal, he was dismissed from his official posts in the Israeli cabinet.
