Elissafeh Peretz, a Member of Knesset-designate for the 'Yash' party, has issued a strong call for the establishment of a "Zionist government" that prioritizes reservist soldiers, directly challenging his party chairman, Gadi Eisenkot. Peretz expressed his personal connection to the ongoing conflict, stating that his own brigade, Brigade 9 (Oded), has been on reserve duty for over 500 days. He is set to begin his term in the Knesset next week but emphasized his thoughts remain with the soldiers serving in Lebanon.
Peretz articulated that the reservists and regular soldiers defending Israel's home should be the top priority in any political configuration. He believes their sacrifices are the fundamental reason for forming a Zionist government. This stance appears to be a direct critique of Eisenkot's reported efforts to form a government with the support of Arab factions, which Peretz suggests contravenes explicit election promises made to voters.
