Yesh Atid (Hebrew: יֵשׁ עָתִיד lit. There is a Future) is a political party founded by former journalist Yair Lapid in 2012 that seeks to represent what it considers the center of Israeli society: the secular middle class. In 2013 Yesh Atid placed second in the general election winning 19 seats in the 120-seat Knesset far more than polls had predicted it would win. On 15 March 2013 the party signed a coalition agreement with the ruling Likud party to join the Israeli government.
