The Communications Minister of Israel (Hebrew: שר התקשורת, Sar HaTikshoret) is the political head of the Israeli Ministry of Communications and a relatively minor position in the Israeli cabinet. The post was established in 1952, and until 1970 was known as the Minister of Postal Services (Hebrew: שר הדואר, Sar HaDo'ar). The current minister is Moshe Kahlon of Likud.
