TIME most influential list: Lapid in, Netanyahu out

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu may have bested Yair Lapid in January's election, but it was Lapid who made TIME magazine's 100 most influential people list released on Thursday, while Netanyahu was left off.
The list, published annually since 1999, places candidates into five categories: Leaders & Revolutionaries, Builders & Titans, Artists & Entertainers, Scientists & Thinkers, and Heroes & Icons, picking 20 from each list.Related:
