After being tasked by President Reuven Rivlin to form a government, Yesh Atid leader Yair Lapid said Wednesday that a unity government is "not a compromise - but the objective."
"We must form a government which reflects the fact that we do not hate each other. Where the left, right and center work together in the face of economic and security challenges. I will do all I can to ensure a unity government is formed as fast as possible and work for all Israeli citizens."
