Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleYair Lapid addresses the Blue and White event. “The citizens of Israel proved today they were better than their politicians and their politics,” he says.
“The extremists remain outside the Knesset or shrank,” he cheers, referring to Otzma Yehudit (which fell under the electoral threshold, according to exit polls), and some elements of the Yamina party.
“Today the Israeli values returned to the center stage of Israeli politics,” he says.
He also urges patience, saying it will take time for the results to be clarified.
