MK Yair Lapid, number two on the Blue and White list, spoke at a final Blue and White campaign rally, attended by over a thousand activists.

“These elections will be won not by dirt, not by lies, not by fear and not by hate. These elections will be won by hope. I look at you and that’s what I see: the return of hope,” he said.

“I promise you, you’ll show everyone that hope is stronger than hate. We will win these elections. We will finally win these elections and bring about change to Israel. Hope is going to vote on the 2nd March and you’re the ones taking it there.”
