Yair Lapid Hails Opposition's Heroic Political Battle in Final Knesset Session

Opposition leader Yair Lapid opened the last meeting of the Yesh Atid faction in the 25th Knesset by reflecting on the political struggles they faced. He questioned why controversial laws were introduced only in the final week of the session, implying that the opposition's resistance delayed their passage. Lapid praised his faction, calling them "amazing" and describing their efforts as the most magnificent, heroic, and successful political battle ever waged by an opposition in Israel's history, despite the odds against them. He highlighted key victories, including blocking the "draft evasion" law, preventing the shutdown of free media, and stopping the enactment of the override clause.
