Yair Lapid

Yair Lapid appears in You’ve come a long way, Bibi: Israel’s crucial election as a former Israeli prime minister whose party joins Naftali Bennett’s in the Together opposition bloc. The episode places him inside the fragmented anti-Benjamin Netanyahu field rather than treating him as a stand-alone profile.

Lapid’s source role is coalition arithmetic. The episode says opposition parties may collectively reach about 66 Knesset seats, but still have to prove they can govern together across ideological and communal lines.
