Biton was appointed CEO of Shas in 2014. In 2016 he took over the party's Ma'ayan Hinukh Torani school system, increasing its enrollment by 10,000 in two years. Following a complaint by
Hiddush, in 2020 the
Office of the Attorney General ruled that he could not be both CEO of the party and the school network. Biton was placed ninth on the
Shas list for the
2015 elections. The party won only seven seats, and when he had the opportunity to take his seat as a replacement, he declined, allowing
Yigal Guetta to take his place. He subsequently turned down the opportunity to run on the party's list for the
April 2019 Knesset elections. However, prior to the
2021 elections he was placed fifth on the Shas
list, Biton lives in
Givat Ze'ev, an Israeli settlement located north of Jerusalem. ==References==
