Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir has pressed figures within the Likud party to resolve the matter of Knesset member Tally Gottlieb's potential move to his Otzma Yehudit party. Sources indicate Ben Gvir told Likud officials that if they wish for Gottlieb to join their ranks, the decision must be made immediately, rather than through media leaks and exchanges.
Gottlieb's political future has become a prominent issue after she demanded the 12th spot on the Likud's electoral list from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. She was initially placed 20th, following Netanyahu's decision to reserve eight protected seats for his personal candidates. Gottlieb, a vocal supporter of Netanyahu, has criticized him and his close associates, alleging a systematic campaign against her and a failure to recognize her electoral strength.
The dispute highlights growing tensions within Likud over the composition of its electoral list. Gottlieb is seeking to improve her political standing, while Ben Gvir is strongly advocating for her to join his party.
