Elisef Peretz, an educator and social activist who is running on Gadi Eisenkot's 'Yashar' list, has strongly dismissed the possibility of a future Israeli government including Arab parties. Peretz addressed online discourse and political concerns, stating, "There is no chance in the world that this is happening and I do not believe it will happen." He asserted that while personal opinions exist, the current political climate is being used to frighten the public.
Peretz urged Israelis to look beyond election rhetoric, suggesting that once the votes are cast, the political atmosphere will change and the "poison" will dissipate. He emphasized the need to focus on governing the country and finding common ground among the Israeli public, noting that "most Israelis agree on 80% of things."
He called for unity and a shared path forward after the elections, advocating for Israelis to find a "straight bridge to ascend together." Peretz's comments came amidst broader political discussions and anxieties regarding potential coalition formations following the upcoming elections.
