Lapid to Haredim: ‘You Won’
A fascinating speech that Yair Lapid delivered last year has emerged. It offers a glimpse into his views on religion and secularity in Israel, and specifically on the role the Haredim play and will continue to play in Israeli society.
For anyone interested in understanding what philosophy Lapid will be bringing to his role in either government or opposition to it, this is worth a look.
