Centrist Lapid tapped as Israeli Finance Minister - source

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Yair Lapid, a former TV anchor-turned-kingmaker after Israel's general election, will likely be finance minister in a new coalition government, a political source said on Sunday.

Lapid's centrist Yesh Atid party won a surprising 19 seats in the January 22 election, the second most behind Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's right-wing Likud-Beiteinu alliance's 31 seats in the 120-member parliament.
