Miriam Peretz: If Yashar forms a government with an Arab party, my son will leave Knesset
Just two days earlier, at her son's swearing-in ceremony at the Knesset, Peretz had struck a different tone, emphasizing the importance of unity and working on behalf of all Israeli citizens.
Israel Prize laureate Miriam Peretz, the mother of Yashar MK Elisaf Peretz, warned her son that he would leave the Knesset if his party joined forces with an Arab party. This strong statement was made in an interview on radio amid ongoing discussions about the formation of the next government. Miriam Peretz expressed her firm belief that an Arab party should not have any role in decision-making.
She emphasized that the formation of a Zionist government is a critical political goal, and she voiced her hope that her son would uphold this spirit of unity in his Knesset work.
