Yesh Atid leader Yair Lapid on Wednesday night responded to the announcement of the exit polls, saying that a "heavy responsibility has been placed upon our shoulders."Speaking at a Yesh Atid supporters rally that was broadcast at the same time as Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's speech, Lapid said: "No matter where you go, don't be like those who, the moment they are elected, forget. I have just been elected, and I will not forget." The Yesh Atid leader called on parties to put divisions of the campaign behind them and work for a wide government.
