Israeli FM Saar pushes 12 ambassador appointments ahead of possible govt change

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar is seeking approval for 12 ambassadorial appointments, most of whom would not start until summer 2027, raising concerns of a pre-election snatch. Senior ministry officials question the urgency, while the Foreign Ministry defends the move as necessary to complete appointments. This signals potential political maneuvering ahead of a possible government transition.
