Miriam Peretz, mother of Knesset Member Elissaf Peretz of the Yisrael party led by Gadi Eisenkot, stated that her son would resign from the Knesset if his party were to sit with an Arab party. She made these remarks in an interview with "Mashi and Gadlovich" on Kol Barama radio.
Peretz's statement comes amid ongoing political discussions regarding potential partnerships with Arab parties in forming the next government. Her comments cast doubt on the possibility of Elissaf Peretz supporting such a move. Peretz, who was elected to the Knesset as part of the Yisrael list, has previously expressed opposition to sitting in a government with non-Zionist parties. Before the elections, he clarified his stance, opposing a coalition partnership with Arab parties and identifying the establishment of a Zionist government as a primary political objective.
However, unlike Elissaf Peretz's prior statements, it was his mother who explicitly declared that such a partnership would lead to his departure from the Knesset. At this time, Elissaf Peretz has not directly commented on his mother's statements.
