Yair Lapid (Hebrew: יאיר לפיד, born 5 November 1963) is an Israeli politician and former news anchor who currently serves as the chairman of the Yesh Atid Party. He served as the Israeli Minister of Finance between 2013 and 2014. Prior to his entry into politics in 2012, he was a journalist, author, TV presenter and news anchor. The Yesh Atid Party, which he founded, became the second largest party in the Knesset by winning 19 seats in its first election in 2013. The greater than anticipated results contributed to Lapid's reputation as a leading moderate.
In March 2013, following his coalition agreement with Likud, Lapid was appointed as the Israeli Minister of Finance. In May 2013, Lapid ranked first on the list of the "Most Influential Jews in the World" by The Jerusalem Post.
Biography
Yair Lapid, born in Tel Aviv, is the son of journalist and politician Yosef "Tommy" Lapid and author Shulamit (Giladi) Lapid. He has a sister, Merav, who is a clinical psychologist. Another sister, Michal, died in a car accident in 1984.
Israeli Politician Yair Lapid Asks For Mother's Forgiveness Over Raucous Parliament Session
The Israeli politician who was the driving force in forming the country's new government called off a planned speech to parliament on Sunday, saying he was ashamed that his 86-year-old mother had to witness the raucous behavior of his opponents.
In a brief speech, Yair Lapid said he wanted to "ask for forgiveness from my mother."
"I wanted her to be proud of the democratic process in Israel. Instead she, along with every citizen of Israel, is ashamed of you and remembers clearly why it's time to replace you," he said.
Lapid led the efforts to form the new coalition, which is expected to be approved later Sunday.
He is expected to be Israel's new foreign minister for two years, and then become prime minister in a rotation agreement for the final two years of the government's term.

Hamas ‘not interested’ in a two-state solution: Yair Lapid
Israel Opposition Leader Yair Lapid says Hamas has "no interest" in building a two-state solution with Israel.
“As long as Hamas is in Gaza then the Israelis and the Palestinians are going to be its victims,” Mr Lapid told Sky News Australia.
Mr Lapid said the entire country of Israel has a common cause in eliminating Hamas from Gaza.
“We’re discussing it as differences of opinions on how to deal with common cause,” Mr Lapid said.
“The entire country now has a common cause; we have to eliminate Hamas from our borders because a terrible and horrible terrorist organisation has killed our children.”

Yair Lapid (Hebrew: יאיר לפיד, born 5 November 1963) is an Israeli politician and former news anchor who currently serves as the chairman of the Yesh Atid Party. He served as the Israeli Minister of Finance between 2013 and 2014. Prior to his entry into politics in 2012, he was a journalist, author, TV presenter and news anchor. The Yesh Atid Party, which he founded, became the second largest party in the Knesset by winning 19 seats in its first election in 2013. The greater than anticipated results contributed to Lapid's reputation as a leading moderate.
In March 2013, following his coalition agreement with Likud, Lapid was appointed as the Israeli Minister of Finance. In May 2013, Lapid ranked first on the list of the "Most Influential Jews in the World" by The Jerusalem Post.
