711bet Who is Gideon Saar, Israel’s new foreign minister?

Gideon Saar711bet, Israel’s newly appointed foreign minister, has served in a string of government posts, switching political alliances while maintaining hard-line opposition to Palestinian statehood.

Over the years, he has been both a supporter and foe of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, at one point starting his own party in a challenge to the Israeli leader.

Mr. Saar realigned with the prime minister only five weeks ago, just months after he quit the government in March, when Mr. Netanyahu refused to put him on the war cabinet overseeing Israel’s strategy against Hamas in Gaza.

“This is a time in which it’s my obligation to try to contribute to decision making,” he said when he rejoined the government in September.

Opposition leaders see Mr. Saar’s shifts as evidence of his enduring pursuit for political relevance.

“Political considerations are the leading considerations for him, that’s his way,” said Benny Gantz, a former defense minister who quit the government’s war cabinet last summer and who had created a political coalition with Mr. Saar’s party, New Hope, in 2022 to oppose Mr. Netanyahu. “It is impossible to predict what he will do politically.”
