Miriam Peretz, mother of MK Elissef Peretz of the "Yachad" party, stated in a radio interview on Thursday that her son would resign from the Knesset if his party forms a coalition reliant on Arab parties. Speaking on "Kol Barama" radio amidst intense political negotiations for the next government, Peretz declared that her son's party participating in a coalition with Arab parties is unacceptable. "If my son's party sits with an Arab party, he will leave the Knesset," she asserted, adding firmly, "It will not happen that an Arab party decides whether to go to battle."

Peretz also addressed reports of pressure being applied to her and her son regarding their political decisions. She confirmed that significant pressure is being exerted, hinting at unusual methods that will be revealed later. "The pressures are being applied these days too," she said.
