Speaking at a Shabbos election gathering in Rishon L’Tzion, Yesh Atid party leader Yair Lapid told his audience that both Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Yitzchak Herzog have promised chareidim to amend the chareidi draft law to the liking of the chareidi tzibur. He explained if Yesh Atid receive sufficient votes and is essential to form a government, only then will he have the needed political strength required to prevent this from occurring.
Lapid told his audience that both of the leading premiership candidates have already sold out to chareidim.
In Rehovot, the tires of the vehicles of the city’s Yesh Atid leader and his wife were slashed on Shabbos. Both vehicles were displaying party signs. Police are investigating. No arrests have been reported.
Giving the party a boost, Dr. Yariv Ben-Eliezer, a grandson of David Ben-Gurion on Shabbos publically announced his support for Yesh Atid.

“The fundamental problem of Democracy is that the majority of voters are idiots fueled by uninformed rage – and the Politicians do everything to cater to them.”

Great line! Who said it?
#8 If you don’t live here in Israel, you SHOULD keep your comments to yourself.When you Do get here then you can make your stupid remarks, otherwise BUTT OUT.
#10-exactly my point- we’re all in galus no matter whether in NY, LA, or in Artzainu Hakedosha. The STATE of ISRAEL is a meaningless,temporary, flash in the pan during our long golus. Many other 70 year periods have come and gone and are all but forgotten……..
#11 As I said If you don’t live BUTT OUT
JL, What does living there have to do with knowing what’s right ?
How can you know what is right for Israel if you DON’T live in Israel,END of discussion.

Talk about apologizing before Yom Kippur. But this is probably not what you had in mind.
Israeli Finance Minister Yair Lapid, in a post on his Facebook page on Erev Yom Kippur, apologized for not yet drafting chareidim,initiating civil marriage and providing public transportation on Shabbos.
