Yair Lapid officially became the 14th Prime Minister of Israel at the stroke of midnight between Thursday and Friday.

I look forward to seeing you both in July to celebrate the unbreakable U.S.-Israel partnership.

"We'll do the best we can for a Jewish, democratic state, good and strong and thriving, because that is the job, and it's bigger than all of us," Lapid said at a handover ceremony with the outgoing Prime Minister Naftali Bennett on Thursday afternoon.
On his first day in office, Lapid's first agenda is to hold a meeting with Ronen Bar, the head of the Shin Bet security agency, at the Kirya military headquarters in Tel Aviv.
