Yeah Atid MK Ram Ben-Barak announced Sunday that he plans to challenge Yair Lapid for the leadership of the party. Ben-Barak thus joins MK Ofer Shelah, who also said he plan to do the same.
Ben-Barak is a relative newcomer to politics: He previously served as deputy director of the Mossad intelligence agency and director general of the Intelligence Services and Strategic Affairs ministries.

It remains unclear whether this challenge is even feasible, as Yesh Atid, which Lapid founded, has no internal elections mechanism in place.
