Israel’s government unanimously approved the appointment of Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar as Interior Minister, following a proposal by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Sa’ar will hold both portfolios simultaneously. The Interior Ministry has been without a permanent minister since Shas minister Moshe Arbel resigned in July 2025 amid the Chareidi draft law crisis. Netanyahu initially offered the position to Likud MK Ofir Katz, who declined to focus on coordinating the Netanyahu bloc in the Knesset.
