Speaking on Galei Tzahal this morning, MK Elazar Stern (Yesh Atid) expressed support of his party's leader, Yair Lapid, saying, "We need a party leader who is fit to be prime minister, and in my opinion, Lapid is worthy of replacing Netanyahu."

On Yesh Atid MK Ofer Shelah's announcement that he plans to stand for the party leadership, Stern said, "If he loses his bid, he can stay in the party. His intentions are legitimate, but should we be listening to them now? No."
