abandoning the government but propping it up

The Shas Council of Sages just decided that Shas should leave the government, which they will reportedly do tomorrow morning. However, part of the decision is also to not support Opposition bills and not topple the government, and to also support any government decision about releasing hostages.

I am not quite sure how this works. This is similar to what Ben Gvir did when he left the government, he also supported it form the outside despite having left due to significant disagreement on policy, and eventually returning.

What's the point of resigning and leaving the government but protecting it from the outside? The government will be a minority government but they are propping up the government they are abandoning. What is the point of that? I didn't understand it when Ben Gvir did it either.

 
update:

it seems they are leaving the government but not the coalition. Still not sure what the point is but at least they arent supporting it from outside but from inside so it makes slightly more sense
