Yesh Atid (

liberal Zionist political party in Israel. It was founded in 2012 by former TV journalist Yair Lapid, the son of the former Shinui party politician and Israeli Justice Minister Tommy Lapid
.

In 2013 the first election it contested in, Yesh Atid placed second, winning 19 seats in the 120-seat Knesset.[17][18] It then entered into a coalition led by the Likud party. In the 2015 election the party refused to back the Likud; after suffering a significant setback and losing seats it joined the opposition.

On 21 February 2019, Yesh Atid united with the

alliance named Blue and White for the upcoming election.[19][20] Yesh Atid and Telem left the alliance on 29 March 2020 and formed an independent faction in the Knesset.[21] Yesh Atid ran in the 2021 election alone and won 17 seats, the second-largest party in the Knesset, making up the largest party in Israel's governing coalition at the time, with party leader Yair Lapid serving as Prime Minister
in 2022.

In the 2022 elections Yesh Atid won 24 seats, more than in any previous election, but was unable to form a government. Likud, led by Benjamin Netanyahu, formed a government, with Yesh Atid returning to opposition.

Origins

In January 2012, TV anchor Yair Lapid announced that he was leaving journalism for politics[22]

In early 2010, speculation arose in the Israeli media concerning the possibility that Israeli journalist and television figure Yair Lapid, who at the time worked as a news anchor at Channel 2, would end his career in journalism and begin a career in Israeli politics. Initially, Lapid dismissed these reports.[23][24] The Knesset initiated legislation to lessen the influx of Israeli journalists running for a position by prohibiting them as candidates in the first year after they ended their journalism careers.[25] Despite widespread interest in Lapid, he declined to be interviewed.

He gained support through social networks, primarily his

matriculation program.[26] In early January 2012, Lapid officially announced that he would quit journalism in order to enter politics, and that he would lead a new party.[22][27]

In April 2012, the proposed new party was reported to be named "Atid". Lapid said that the party would not have any members who were legislators or Members of Knesset (

shekels for the 2013 Israeli legislative election.[29]

Lapid has said his party is different from his late father's Shinui, in part because of its diversity and its inclusion of religious figures.[17][30][31] Despite this, analysts have found them somewhat similar.[32][33][34]

Ballot paper of the party

Yesh Atid presented centrist populism to its middle and upper-middle class constituency,[35][36] with anti-incumbent messages and calls for cleaner politics, similar to so-called "new/centrist populist parties" that have arisen in Europe.[37] Yesh Atid voters tend to have higher levels of income and education compared to the general population, and hold moderate views on economic and security issues.[38][39]

19th Knesset

In the election held on 22 January 2013, Yesh Atid won the second-largest share of representation in the Knesset, with 19 seats.[40] The party was particularly strong in wealthy districts.[41] Yesh Atid's success was viewed as the largest surprise of the election, as pre-election polling gave the party only 8-11 seats. He joined Netanyahu's governing coalition. Although he focused mostly on domestic and economic concerns of social justice, he had criticized Netanyahu's foreign policy and said he would not sit in a government that was not serious about pursuing peace.[42][43]

Lapid endorsed Netanyahu for prime minister after the election, and on 15 March 2013, the party signed a coalition agreement with the ruling Likud party.

Almost one year after the election, a survey was published showing a continuing trend of decreasing popularity of the party, which would only achieve 10 seats in the Knesset, as opposed to the 19 party members who were elected, if elections were held at that time, and with 75% of those polled claiming to be disappointed by Lapid's performance.[44] The finance ministry post came with budgetary restrictions (cutting spending, raising taxes, and confronting the money demands of the defense ministry) that affected Lapid's popularity.[45]

Before

Hatnuah) and Moshe Kahlon (Kulanu) in an effort to form electoral alliances with their respective parties. Both efforts were unsuccessful: Livni formed an alliance with Labor, and Kahlon preferred to run alone.[46][47] On 8 February 2015, Yesh Atid MK Shai Piron said the party would prefer a coalition led by Isaac Herzog and Livni than one by Netanyahu.[48]

Lapid's criticism while campaigning was mostly of Netanyahu and his Likud party.[45][48] His campaign continued to emphasize the economy over national security,[49] although he has somewhat departed from his previous almost-exclusive focus on domestic policy and become more vocal, and left-leaning, on the peace process.[50] The party focused on middle-class needs and in this respect was very similar to Kahlon's new Kulanu party.[51] However, Lapid's main electoral base is the European-oriented upper-middle class,[52][53] whereas Kahlon targeted the lower-middle class.[54][55] While both Yesh Atid and Kulanu are positioned as centrist parties,[56] Yesh Atid is almost universally considered to be aligned with the left-leaning political bloc,[57][58][59][60] and Kulanu, sometimes considered right-leaning,[61][62] is a "swing" party not aligned with any bloc.[63]

Aftermath

Yesh Atid won 11 seats in the 20th Knesset, making it the fourth-largest faction. However, it increased in popularity throughout 2017 and the first months of 2018, rivalling Likud as the biggest party in opinion polls. After the Haredim received favorable draft concessions in a negotiated deal among the government coalition, Yair Lapid denounced the arrangements as an "insult to the IDF" and a "fraud".[64]

2021- present

On 9 May 2021, it was reported that Lapid and Yamina leader Naftali Bennett had made major headway in the coalition talks.[65][66] The anti-Netanyahu coalition has been described as the "Change bloc."[67] Coalition whip Boaz Toporovsky described Yesh Atid as taking a more "statesmanlike" tone, and having learned from its experience.[68]

After cultivating ties with liberal parties worldwide, Yesh Atid was admitted to the Liberal International,[69][70] in October 2021 as an observer member.[71][72]

The 2022 Israeli legislative election resulted in Yesh Atid winning 24 seats, its best result yet, with the party gaining the most votes in most areas in Tel Aviv and in the other cities in Israel.[73] However, it failed to form government and returned to the opposition.

In October 2023, it was announced that Yesh Atid would hold its first leadership primary elections, which were contested by incumbent leader Yair Lapid and MK Ram Ben-Barak.[74] The elections were held on 28 March 2024; Lapid won with 52.5% of the vote,[75] narrowly beating Ben-Barak by 308 votes to 279, a margin of just 29 votes.[75][76]

Political position

In general, Yesh Atid is mainly regarded as a

Israeli society: the secular middle class.[79] It focuses primarily on civic, socio-economic, and governance issues,[80] including government reform and ending military draft exemptions for the ultra-Orthodox.[81][82] Yesh Atid has endorsed reentering peace negotiations with the Palestinians and halting further construction in Israeli settlements.[83][84]

Platform

In the application submitted to the party registrar, Lapid listed the party's eight goals. According to this statement, these include:[85][86]

  1. Changing the priorities in Israel, with an emphasis on civil life – education, housing, health, transport, and policing, as well as improving the condition of the middle class.
  2. Changing the system of government.
  3. Equality in education and the draft – all Israeli school students must be taught essential classes, all Israelis will be drafted into the Army, and all Israeli citizens will be encouraged to seek work, including the ultra-Orthodox sector and the Arab sector.
  4. Fighting political corruption, including corruption in government in the form of institutions like "Minister without portfolio", opting for a government of 18 ministers at most, fortifying the rule of law, and protecting the status of the High Court of Justice.
  5. Growth and economic efficiency – creating growth engines as a way of fighting poverty, combatting red tape, removing barriers, improving the transportation system, reducing the cost of living and housing costs, and improving social mobility through assistance to small businesses.
  6. Legislation of Education Law in cooperation with teachers' unions, eliminating most of the matriculation exams, raising the differential education index, and increasing school autonomy.
  7. Enacting a constitution to regulate tense relations between population groups in Israel.
  8. Striving for peace according to an outline of "two states for two peoples", while maintaining the large Israeli settlement blocs and ensuring the safety of Israel.
