Netanyahu Reshuffles Government Amid Ongoing Conflict with Hezbollah and Hamas
In a recent announcement, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu emphasized that "difficult days are still ahead" following the elimination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut. This development has prompted the reintegration of Gideon Saar, head of the Tikva Hadasha party, into Netanyahu's government, aligning with ongoing efforts against both Hezbollah and Hamas in Gaza.
During a joint press conference with Saar, Netanyahu remarked on the shifting dynamics in the region, stating that Israel is perceived as "a strong, determined, and powerful country" by both allies and adversaries alike. He underscored the importance of national unity during these challenging times, acknowledging the heavy costs associated with the ongoing conflict.
Netanyahu congratulated Saar for rising to the occasion and described his return to the cabinet as a move toward internal unity and enhanced support against external threats. This strategic decision allows Netanyahu to expand his majority in the Knesset to 68 out of 120 seats, reducing reliance on far-right factions such as Itamar Ben Gvir's Otzma Hayehudit party.
The formal announcement of Saar's return took place during a televised ceremony at the government headquarters. Saar accepted a ministerial position without portfolio, indicating his commitment to supporting the government's initiatives without formal coalition agreements.
Saar had previously expressed willingness to join an expanded government shortly after the onset of hostilities triggered by Hamas's violent attack on Israel on October 7. His departure from the government in March was due to disagreements over his inclusion in the war cabinet, which was ultimately dissolved in June following Benny Gantz's exit amid disputes over Gaza strategy.
As Israel navigates these turbulent waters, Netanyahu's administration seeks to solidify its position both domestically and regionally, aiming for new alliances while maintaining a united front against its adversaries.
