    Default Yair Lapid: The ex-TV host who is Israel's new PM

    He is on record as stating that wants to restart talks with the PA.
    .
    In the 10-years since he turned from a political chat-show host to politician, Yair Lapid has dreamed of becoming Israel's prime minister.

    Now, having taken over in a caretaker capacity, the centrist will be looking to prove that he deserves the top job in the long term, as the country prepares to go to the polls for the fifth time in under four years.

    The former amateur boxer is sure to face dogged attacks from conservative Benjamin Netanyahu - Israel's longest serving leader - whom he successfully knocked out of office in 2021 by forging an unlikely alliance between eight, ideologically diverse political parties.

    Following the vote to dissolve parliament, Mr Lapid, who has been foreign minister, took over because of his power-sharing deal with the right-wing, religious nationalist Naftali Bennett, who was prime minister for the past year.

    He will be in charge at least for an interim period until a new government is formed after polls due in October or November, and possibly beyond if no coalition can be formed.

    Is this something important?

    Of course it's important, stop being such a prick. I've already told you that he's a centrist and is committed to restarting talks with the PA about a two state solution. I wouldn't be at all surprised if he appoints Ehud Olmert as chief negotiator.

    Well, they've been negotiating a two state solution for almost half a century.

    The devil is in the details.

    We'll have to wait and see, as usual.

    I think you're a tad cynical, if he can get Olmert and Abbas together then they may be able to revive the 2008 map.

    They will finally have the elections that have been delayed over and over. The PA will only want to go if Hamas has no chance of winning. This explains.

    It's naive to believe that terrorists are interested in peace and/or negotiations.

    Towards his British wards and Arab terrorists, yes. One could say that the British empire was a terrorist organization. Look at all the people they forced into subjugation.

    So you didn't believe that the Jews should have a teeny tiny carveout in the Middle East to call their own?
