Yesh Atid Chairman Yair Lapid has reached out to Israel's youngest voting population Saturday night, holding a question-and-answer session with 200 members of Yesh Atid at Tel Aviv's Tailor Made club in a pre-election appearance.
Lapid was joined by MKs Yaakov Perry, Mickey Levi, Ronen Hoffman, Aliza Lavie, Pnina Tamano-Shata, and Boaz Toporovsky.
"Israel owes you an apology," Lapid stated in opening remarks, "because for 20 years it hasn't been working for you."
"You are the ones who are here today, you decide to take your destiny in your hands and lead the change," he added.
"Yesh Atid came to the government and decided to change the political game," he continued. "To us, politics is not just for politics, politics is not the goal, the goal is to change the lives of civilians and to create a better society."
"Yesh Atid will not stop the actions the Prime Minister curtailed, when he decided to go to the polls," Lapid declared. "[We act to] add more housing programs, [change] the social budget, [improve the] cost of living." He added that, in his eyes, "any party other than the Prime Minister should receive credit."
Lapid and other MKs have claimed on several occasions that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu "pulled the plug" on "successes" Lapid had in store, including a peace plan and crucial solutions to Israel's housing and cost of living issues, and that Netanyahu had a specific agenda against him.

He’s correst that Israel hasn’t been building enough housing. Bibi has been halting and delaying it to keep obama happy. Damned foolish but Bibi has his shortcomings lime this ongoing effort to obey or please Obama. Bibi, when you kiss their behinds, you only encourage the nazi haters to Make even more demands of you. Stand up. Build. Make up for the last several years of slowed construction. Build houses for your people and tell any foreign meddlers to take a long leap off a short pier.
