Mr. Saar's decision to join Netanyahu's government signifies a strategic shift, as him and three other party members move from staunch opposition to coalition support, strengthening Netanyahu's fragile majority.
Saar explained his choice by stating, 'I did not see value in continuing to sit in the opposition, most of whom hold different views from mine on the war.' This underscores his commitment to have a voice in critical decisions during the current crisis.
Netanyahu's coalition now grows from 64 to 68 members, enhancing his support amidst ongoing criticisms regarding his management of the war between Israel and Hamas.
Despite previously aspiring for the defense minister role, Saar's appointment as a minister without a portfolio represents a compromise during a tumultuous period for Israel's government.
