Encyclopedic overview
Yesh Atid (Hebrew: יֵשׁ עָתִיד, lit. 'There is a Future') is a centrist political party in Israel. It was founded in 2012 by former TV journalist and future Prime Minister Yair Lapid, the son of the former Shinui party politician and Israeli Justice Minister Tommy Lapid.
In 2013 the first election it contested in, Yesh Atid placed second, winning 19 seats in the 120-seat Knesset. It then entered into a coalition led by the Likud party. In the 2015 election the party refused to back the Likud; after suffering a significant setback and losing seats it joined the opposition.
