Netanyahu announces former rival Gideon Sa'ar joined Israeli cabinet

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has appointed opposition lawmaker Gideon Sa'ar to rejoin his cabinet, the politicians announced in a joint statement Sunday.

Sa'ar will serve in the Security Cabinet, according to Netanyahu.

"I appreciate the fact that Gideon Sa'ar responded to my request and agreed today to return to the government," Netanyahu said, noting how the leaders have put aside their disagreements.

"We will work together, and I intend to use him in the forums that influence the conduct of the war," Netanyahu added.

Sa'ar was once a member of Netanyahu's Likud Party but defected after an unsuccessful bid for party leadership. He formed his own party in 2020 called New Hope.

"I am joining the government at this stage without a coalition agreement - but with an orderly worldview and with a strong patriotic attitude for our people," Sa'ar said in the joint statement.

The IDF blamed Iranian transfers of weapons, supplies and oil to the Houthis, and said the attack was "in response to the recent attacks by the Houthis" against Israel.

The IDF chief of general staff, Herzi Halevi, said of the strikes, "This is not a message -- it is an action. An action that carries a message with it."

This strike was coordinated with the U.S., but was only an Israeli operation, a senior Israeli source told ABC News.
