This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Markman (talk | contribs) at 16:02, June 15, 2013. It may differ significantly from current revision.
Yesh Atid is an Israeli liberal[1] political party. It is currently led by former journalist Yair Lapid and has 19 representatives in the Knesset.[2][3] It currently has five ministers in the government and one deputy minister.[4]
Platform
The party supports the formation of a Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip[5], despite the inherent dangers such a state will pose to Israel. For example, former IDF Chief of Staff Moshe Yaalon said that a Palestinian state will work against Israel and will seek its destruction.[6]
