Yesh Atid held tonight (Tuesday) the first party conference in its history, which was held online due to Corona’s limitations.
During the event, the party’s chairman and foreign minister, Yair Lapid, addressed hundreds of conference participants, saying: “Yesh Atid is the Israeli ruling party. The largest party in government. The center of gravity of government in the country. The Israeli economy, Israeli security, Israeli society, everything goes through us. Yesh Atid is the second largest party in Israel, and we will not stop until it becomes the largest party in Israel. “
“I hear the Likud and Shas and Torah Judaism. The opposition. The curses and insults. For them if they are not in power, if they have been taken away from the caravan and bureau, the country can be closed. We cannot let hatred and violence defeat us. “
Lapid turned to the activists and thanked them: “Thanks to you, we changed the country and we will change the country. The greatest honor of my life is that you chose me to lead you. There was no candidate running against me this time, there will be next time.”
Torch at the conference has a future
“We just started. We came to change”
“More than anything else in this there is a future engaged in: stopping the hatred. Building connections. Building collaborations. Loving tradition and community, without giving up the future and progress.”
“Let them out there continue to shout and curse and try to bring this country down to low places. We have a responsibility. We are the ones who saved Israeli democracy and the Israeli economy and Israel’s international relations.”
“We are Israelis, we have futurists, we are patriots, we are center-right people. The great political struggle is no longer between right and left. It is between the center and the extremists – and the center is winning.”

“In these ten years I have heard an unimaginable amount of eulogies for this party. We have been informed of our deaths countless times. It has only strengthened us. It has only increased us. It has only proved to us what we have always said: there is nothing in the world that a group of determined people can do. “It may take time, maybe the road will be longer than we thought, but if there is the idea and there are the people – it will come.”
“So on this day, at the first conference of a young and self-confident party, the Israeli ruling party, I want to send a message from here to all the residents of the State of Israel: Join us, we have just started. We have come to change!”
