Times of Israel – Ever since Finance Minister Yair Lapid (Yesh Atid) announced that the looming budget crisis would require a round of austerity measures and budget cuts, his north Tel Aviv home has seen weekly gatherings of protesters who decry his focus on middle-class economic issues, which comes at the expense, they say, of the poor.
Last Thursday night, with dozens of protesters outside, the minister’s 17-year-old son, Lior, took a page out of the protesters’ playbook. He greeted the assembled crowd (from behind police protection) and addressed them with one of their megaphones.
