Prime Minister Yair Lapid today (Wednesday) opened the election campaign of the Yesh Atid party in front of more than a thousand members of his party.
"We have defeated the machine of incitement and poison four times, we will defeat it the fifth time as well," he told the audience at the Tel Aviv exhibition grounds.
"We won't let her destroy our house."
Ministers Meir Cohen and Orna Barbibai spoke before Lapid, who said that "There is one who created the world, and there is one Yair Lapid, who said, 'I am ready to give up.'
In his speech, Lapid referred to the government's activities.
"Everything has changed in the past year, but not our values. Not the things we care about. The rule of law, strengthening the middle class, Israeli democracy, freedom of religion, freedom of the press, the pursuit of peace with the Palestinians and the countries of the region, Judaism that is for everyone, a free economy that creates opportunities for every child and takes care of the weak. If we want to recruit thousands more police and police officers to restore order to the streets, transfer unemployment benefits to the self-employed, strengthen the status of teachers and the autonomy of schools, transfer civil marriage, we need to form the next government from a position of strength."
"We need to establish the next government from a position of strength."

After that, he attacked the Likud.
"Today we are waging a fight against the cost of living. For 15 years no one did anything, they didn't touch it. Israel became more and more expensive, and the government told its citizens that they were boring it. Now suddenly Netanyahu has learned to refuel. He is standing at a gas station, and is still doing it just as we lowered the gas prices ".
"Faced with these challenges we need to stand together," he added.
"Division weakens us, togetherness strengthens us. Different types of people need to gather in a place that allows them to live together and share the good. We are different people. Each and every one of us has different memories and different thoughts and our own private history, but we have a common goal: to make sure that Israel is democratic , Jewish, strong liberal, progressive and prosperous".
