Gideon Sa'ar is an Israeli politician and is currently a minister-without-portfolio as part of the National Unity Party.
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.
In Israel's 36th government headed by Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid Sa'ar took the position of justice minister.
In the current government, Sa'ar sits in the National Unity Party, a merger between his own party and the party of Benny Gantz. Though having been a member of the opposition for most of the current Knesset's tenure, he and his party joined as part of an emergency government due to the war with Hamas.
