Yes, Prime Minister
As you were receiving last week’s Bulletin, Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid delivered the best speech by a representative of the State of Israel since Abba Eban’s June 6, 1967, speech at the Security Council.

He made it personal, optimistic and humble - and in so doing looked more presidential than any prime minister I can remember.
"Lapid did not make specific commitments except to investigate complaints from those present, but he distinguished himself from Netanyahu by listening and not lecturing, according to one participant . . .
“ 'The big difference is that Bibi would take two questions and basically just give his spiel,' said the participant, using Netanyahu’s nickname and speaking anonymously because the event was off the record. 'And Lapid took 10 questions and actually answered them and was engaged.' ”
