Mother of Yashar lawmaker says son will quit Knesset if party joins coalition with Arab party
Miriam Peretz, a prominent Israeli educator whose two sons were killed in combat, said her son Elyasaf would not join a government with an Arab party, though previous governments relied on Arab parties for outside support
On Thursday, Yashar party leader MK Gadi Eisenkot convened with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to receive a diplomatic and security briefing at the Prime Minister's Office. This meeting took place following Eisenkot's persistent demands for security briefings, which he alleged were previously denied. Eisenkot emphasized the importance of these briefings for maintaining effective oversight and safeguarding national security interests, stating they are required under law for opposition leaders during caretaker governments.
The meeting also occurred amid growing tensions between Netanyahu and IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir over potential military action against Iran. Eisenkot had previously appealed to the Attorney-General to intervene in ensuring he receives regular security briefings. The PMO defended Netanyahu's security decisions, stating they were grounded in security considerations and coordinated with the security establishment.
