Yair Lapid, chairman of the Yesh Atid party, stated at a party conference that a government will be formed, acknowledging that not all party goals and promises may be fulfilled in the initial six months. "A government will be established," Lapid declared, "We will likely not succeed in implementing all our goals and fulfilling all our promises in the next six months, but a government will be established."
Lapid emphasized that perfect governments or coalition agreements do not exist, and compromises are essential for forming a government. "The basic truth for anyone involved in managing countries is: there are no perfect governments. There are no perfect coalition agreements. There is nothing perfect in life at all. So yes, we will make compromises. It is impossible to form a government without painful compromises," he said.
He also spoke about Naftali Bennett, describing him as a "friend and partner" who understands the critical choices facing Israel. Lapid affirmed that they would continue to work together as a bloc in the Knesset to establish a government. "Bennett is a friend, and he is a partner, and he understands like us the fateful choices facing the State of Israel today. We will continue together, as one bloc, to work in the Knesset, and we will do everything to establish a government together," Lapid stated.
