Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has made a significant announcement by appointing former rival Gideon Sa’ar as a minister without portfolio in the government. This move, revealed during a news conference on Sunday evening, is seen as a strategic decision to strengthen Netanyahu's domestic power base.
Netanyahu emphasized the importance of unity in achieving the country's war goals, particularly in light of the ongoing conflict with Hezbollah in Lebanon. It was revealed that prior to the escalation of the conflict, Netanyahu had planned to dismiss Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and promote Sa’ar to the position.
