Gideon Sa'ar is an Israeli politician and is currently the country's foreign minister.
He was born in Tel Aviv, where he also primarily grew up. He holds degrees in law and political science from Tel Aviv University.
He is married to Israeli news anchor Geual Even with whom he has two children. He has two other children from his first wife, Shelly.
Sa'ar clerked as an aide to the attorney-general and then for the state attorney before swerving into politics in 1999, eventually winning a seat in the Knesset on the Likud's list.
After taking a hiatus from politics, Sa'ar returned in 2017 and in December 2020 announced the formation of his own political party, New Hope. This led to a merger with Benny Gantz to form the National Unity Party, which he then broke off from in order to join the government.
"This was an intimate gathering aimed at discussing regional developments and exploring how the EU could help promote cooperation,” Regev explained.
"We welcome the participation of the Syrian minister. We will be together in the same meeting. Let's see what will happen," Saar told reporters ahead of Monday's meeting.
Israeli politicians across the aisle have sent the prime minister messages pushing for or against a Gaza hostage deal.
"A clear message. Time for the UN to pay attention!" Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar wrote in response.
Israeli-Druze politician Akram Hasson is slated to take Sa'ar's place as an MK per the Likud party list.
Aid will be allocated from the Foreign Ministry's budget, and will consist of a series of water systems, each capable of supplying water to tens of thousands of people affected by Russian bombings.
Sa'ar also announced that Israel has decided to open its first embassy in Estonia.
"For the first time, there is real optimism that Hamas will say ‘yes,’" two sources familiar with the talks told The Jerusalem Post.
Israel and Syria are in security talks with major challenges, aiming for peace but facing hurdles that could lead to a 'cold peace' rather than full reconciliation.
Sa'ar added that regarding Syria, Israel will not negotiate the Golan Heights in any peace agreement.
