The Israeli government approved Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's proposal to appoint Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar as acting Interior Minister on Wednesday, November 11. The Prime Minister's Office announced the decision. The Interior Ministry post has been vacant for over a year. Previously, Netanyahu had offered the position to Knesset Member Ofir Katz, but Katz declined, citing the need to focus on his parliamentary duties. Sa'ar previously served as Interior Minister from 2013 to 2014. This current appointment is considered temporary, pending the formation of a new government following the 26th Knesset elections. As this is a transitional government, the appointment does not require Knesset approval.
