Lapid hopes election won’t bring ‘unity gov’t with Haredi parties’

Yesh Atid chairman Yair Lapid votes in Tel Aviv and says the election is “first and foremost a celebration of democracy and I call on everyone to go and cast their votes, whichever party you vote for.”

“We are here because we fight for the State of Israel. We fight against the possibility that at the end of this day, instead of a government that brings change and hope to the state of Israel, we will end up with a unity government of Bibi [Netanyahu], Boujie [Herzog] and the Haredim,” Lapid says.
