As of a few days ago, Israel has a new Prime Minister, Yair Lapid. Due to a first-ever complex rotation agreement, that was activated because a number of former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s party members helped bring down the government, Yair Lapid replaced Naftali Bennett as Israel’s new Prime Minister.

 

Lapid is an ex-Israeli TV media star who entered politics and set up a political party called Yesh Atid trying to represent the center-left of the Israeli public.
