The chairman of the Union Party, Rabbi Rafi Peretz, in reference to an interview he gave to Chadashot 12 that will be published this evening said that:
"In the afternoon, I was interviewed by the journalist Yaron Avraham of Chadashot 12. In response to a question about the Gay Pride Parade, I chose my words poorly, in a way that will probably hurt many people. "I respect every person as a person and do not wish to interfere with anyone in his private life," Rabbi Peretz said.
