Encyclopedic overview

Gideon Moshe Sa'ar (Hebrew: גדעון משה סער; born 9 December 1966) is an Israeli politician currently serving as Israel's Foreign Minister. Sa'ar was first elected to the Knesset as a member of Likud in 2003, serving until 2014. During that period, he served as Education Minister (2009–2013) and Minister of the Interior (2013–2014) under Benjamin Netanyahu's governments.

After a political hiatus, Sa'ar returned to the Knesset in 2019, and unsuccessfully challenged Netanyahu for the leadership of Likud. He subsequently formed his own party, New Hope, and became Minister of Justice (2021–2022) and Deputy Prime Minister (2021) in the Bennett-Lapid government. In 2022, Sa'ar formed an electoral pact with Benny Gantz's Blue and White faction named National Unity. As a member of the National Unity alliance, he returned to the opposition following the 2022 elections.
