Lapid is the alternate prime minister, and the significance is that (correct me if I’m wrong) it’s fairly uncommon for people in political power positions not to have higher education of some sort.
Our (Indian) PM just just faked it! He got a degree printed in a subject that didnt exist, and when the degrees written by hand and in a font that was invented in this century. Not sure if Israelians tolerate white lies from their politicians as we do.
Isn’t that part of the problem. It’s become a political class rather than pulling the best representatives of all facets of society.
