JERUSALEM - As a TV star, Yair Lapid's weekly commentary was entitled Being Israeli - a rhapsody about the middle-class, politically centrist ranks that he saw holding together a fractious country, with him as their tribune.
A decade in public service at the head of the Yesh Atid party which he founded and in which he has never faced a serious challenger, the 58-year-old has built a solid resume of Cabinet roles and statecraft. In contrast to Mr Bennett's impatience with talk of renewing talks on Palestinian statehood, Mr Lapid has described such diplomacy as necessary for Israel's well-being - but argued that both sides are too domestically hamstrung to pursue them.
Despite not graduating from high school, Mr Lapid became a successful writer and made no secret of self-teaching with each new government role.
