Likud and MK Tali Gottlieb Reach Deal for Her to Run with Otzma Yehudit

The Likud party and Member of Knesset Tali Gottlieb have reached an agreement regarding her political future. Under the terms of the deal, Gottlieb will be permitted to run in the upcoming 26th Knesset elections as part of the Otzma Yehudit faction. Crucially, this arrangement means she will not be declared a defector from the Likud party.

As part of the understanding between the parties, Gottlieb is committed to adhering to Likud's factional discipline in Knesset votes until the 26th Knesset convenes. This stipulation ensures that even while preparing to compete under the Otzma Yehudit banner in the next election, she will maintain her affiliation with Likud and remain bound by its voting decisions during the remainder of the current term.

The Likud party confirmed the agreement, stating, "Likud and Tali Gottlieb have agreed that MK Gottlieb will be able to run in the 26th Knesset elections within the Otzma Yehudit faction and will not be declared a defector." The party also reiterated that Gottlieb is obligated to Likud's factional discipline in votes until the 26th Knesset. The statement concluded with well wishes, saying, "We wish Tali success."
