In a Reuters profile interview with Allyn Fisher-Ilan, Yair Lapid, Yesh Atid Chair, painted Israel as an oppressive country, lacking equality and social reform. "This place that was supposed to be this safe haven for Jews has become
too oppressive, too stressed out, and too tense. So you know we can find
ourselves with better lives in Miami, or in Montreal or London," Lapid
said.
