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.
