Likud MK Gottlieb Considers Move to Ben Gvir's Party Amid Internal Strife
Tensions are escalating within the Likud party concerning Member of Knesset (MK) Tali Gottlieb, who is reportedly considering a move to National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir's Otzma Yehudit party. The decision now rests with Prime Minister and Likud Chairman Benjamin Netanyahu, who holds the political authority over Gottlieb's potential transfer. Ben-Gvir and Gottlieb are awaiting Netanyahu's final word on the matter.
The potential move has sparked sharp criticism from within Likud. MK Eliyahu Revivo publicly commented on the situation, stating, "Good luck to Ben-Gvir, the popcorn is already ready," and adding, "Thank God we are rid of her." This sentiment reflects significant internal friction regarding Gottlieb's potential departure.
A legal opinion suggests that Gottlieb's transfer to Otzma Yehudit could be permissible, provided it is done with the Likud party's consent. With this legal avenue seemingly cleared, the ultimate decision now hinges on the political will of Prime Minister Netanyahu.
