Quick Glance: Is the understated Lapid betting that a nasty, divisive Netanyahu would be defeated?
- Former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addresses the Knesset before the decision to dissolve parliament on June 30, 2022.
- In short, by joining Bennett, Lapid was able to gather just enough support to depose Netanyahu in March 2021, overcoming the Knesset's strong right-wing majority with a tiny anti-Netanyahu majority.
- Interim Prime Minister Yair Lapid, center, talks with Ra'am party leader Mansour Abbas before a vote on a bill to dissolve the Knesset on June 30, 2022.
- Lapid did not speak in Thursday's Knesset dispersal session, just as he did not speak at the coalition's inauguration last June.

Quick Glance: As Israel's parliament dissolves, winners and losers emerge
- More than likely, Netanyahu derives a strange joy from having Foreign Minister Yair Lapid worry while he awaits his opportunity to inhabit the prime minister's office for the next three months.
- This is because the present administration, including Alternate Prime Minister Lapid, was previously certified by the Knesset with the Bennett government's swearing-in last year.
- It lacks a coalition to pass legislation via the Knesset, which will have already disbanded itself.
- But Lapid does have one advantage: he will manage his election campaign from the prime minister's office.
- Bennett, the outgoing prime minister, is the biggest loser.

Quick Glance: Israel's New Prime Minister, Yair Lapid, Played the Long Game to Power
- JERICHO — A television interviewer asked Yair Lapid, then the new head of Israel's political center, over a decade ago if he expected to be prime minister after the next election.
- Mr. Lapid was due to succeed Mr. Bennett in August 2023, according to the provisions of their coalition agreement.
- Mr. Lapid, the son of Yosef Lapid, an often abrasive former government minister and Holocaust survivor, and Shulamit Lapid, a novelist, was noted for his pleasant interviewing manner during his television days.
- In a Netanyahu-led administration, Mr. Lapid was appointed finance minister.

Quick Glance: Bennett: I won't rule out sitting under Netanyahu in the future.
- The 24th Knesset might disband as soon as Monday evening, exactly a week after Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Alternate Prime Minister Yair Lapid made the stunning decision.
- Bennett was supposed to become interior minister, Shaked justice minister, and Sa'ar foreign minister, according to coalition accords.
- The outgoing prime minister did not rule out entering a cabinet formed by Netanyahu.
- The official reason Bennett and Lapid chose to dissolve the Knesset was to extend legislation that would otherwise have expired on June 30.
