Interior Minister Gideon Sa’ar is making his final formal preparations to step down.
Sa’ar announced back in September that he would resign from his post, citing personal issues as the reason for the move.
The ministry told journalists that Sa’ar will leave his post within 48 hours; he tendered his formal letter of resignation to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu today (Sunday, Nov. 2).
Netanyahu has yet to name a successor to the post. Top candidates include Deputy Minister Ofir Akunis, MKs Miri Regev, Yariv Levin, and Gila Gamliel.
