Yair Lapid

Nearly half of Israelis support Gantz entering government instead of Smotrich, Ben-Gvir, poll finds

During his speech, the opposition leader attempted to answer a question that he said had haunted the Jewish people since the very last train headed to Auschwitz. 

49% in Filber’s poll said that Gantz was more appropriate to serve as prime minister than Netanyahu, while 43% believed the opposite.

The N12 survey shows a bleak situation for the coalition parties, while the chairman of the National Unity party should be happy with the results.

Lapid's comments came after the rating agency Moody's announced a downgrade of Israel's credit outlook to 'stable,' instead of 'positive.'

US Orthodox Jewish leaders: Yair Lapid undermines Israeli government

In a letter, US Orthodox Jewish leaders claimed that opposition leader Yair Lapid is "driving a wedge between Israel and Jews around the world."

Yad Vashem says it won’t be involved in group visits to any site suspected of distorting events.

Some may be "saddened we resolved the political crisis with Poland that began during the Lapid era,” Cohen charged on Monday.

The Monday night meeting was part of Lapid's US tour; an attempt to repair frayed ties.
