In a significant move within the Israeli occupation government, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced the appointment of Gideon Sa'ar as Minister of Foreign Affairs, succeeding Yisrael Katz, who was appointed Minister of Defense of the occupation in his new government.

Gideon Sa'ar's upbringing and qualifications

After receiving his law degree, Sa'ar began his career as a lawyer, before entering politics in the late 1990s.

Sa'ar is a member of the Likud party and is considered one of the most prominent figures in the far-right movement in the occupation.

His political career

Sa'ar first entered the Knesset in 2003, after winning a seat in the Israeli general elections. Since then, he has built a strong reputation in the political arena, holding several important government positions:

Minister of the Interior (2013-2014): Sa'ar served in this position in Netanyahu's second government, where he led several reforms in the field of immigration and internal affairs. Minister of Education (2009-2013): Under his leadership, the occupation witnessed several reforms in the educational system, including updating the educational curriculum and strengthening programs for students in certain areas. Minister of Internal Security (2003-2004): Sa'ar assumed this position during a sensitive period for the occupation's internal security, where he worked to strengthen security measures. His disagreement with Netanyahu and the establishment of his party

In 2020, Sa'ar decided to leave the Likud party after growing differences with party leader Benjamin Netanyahu over leadership policies.

Sa'ar founded a new party called "Tomnei" (Decision), which attempted to be an alternative to the larger party, but this party did not achieve the expected success in the elections.

However, after a period of political fluctuations, Sa'ar decided to return to the Likud, to strengthen his political role within the party, where he expressed his support for Netanyahu on many important files, such as security and foreign policy.

His political positions

Sa'ar is known for his consistent, far-right positions on domestic and foreign policy issues.

He supports a strict national security policy, believes in the importance of continuing Israeli settlement in the West Bank and Jerusalem, and rejects any concessions regarding the security of the occupation.
