Sad ending: Three weeks after the Minister of Finance was seen in public with a beard adorning his face, the difficult but expected moment arrived and he decided to remove it.
Today (Wednesday), at a conference of the Holocaust Survivors Welfare Fund, Lapid appeared with his face clean-shaven.
As you may recall, at the end of the Sukkot vacation, Yair Lapid returned to the Knesset with his face covered in a white beard.

Almost inevitably, the media extensively covered the minister's new beard, trying to understand what was behind it. When asked about it, Lapid said with a smile: "After budget night, I went on vacation with my family, in preparation for my son Lior's enlistment in the IDF. I decided to give my face a rest as well. On the way back, Lihi told me she thought it was nice, so I kept the beard.".
