Tali Gottlieb to Run on Otzma Yehudit List, Remains Likud Member
National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir announced that Knesset Member Tali Gottlieb will run on the Otzma Yehudit slate in the upcoming 26th Knesset elections. This announcement follows Gottlieb's departure from the Likud party and her joining Ben-Gvir's Otzma Yehudit faction.
According to the agreement, Gottlieb will not be declared a "defector" from Likud and will remain subject to Likud's factional discipline in Knesset votes until the formation of the next Knesset. This arrangement allows Gottlieb to continue serving in the current Knesset, maintaining her status and parliamentary immunity until the elections.
Political analysts anticipate Gottlieb will secure the fourth position on the Otzma Yehudit list. The Likud party confirmed the agreement, stating, "Likud and Tali Gottlieb have agreed that Knesset Member Gottlieb can run in the 26th Knesset elections with the Otzma Yehudit faction and will not be declared a defector." The party added, "As part of the agreement, Gottlieb is committed to adhering to the Likud party's factional discipline in votes until the 26th Knesset. We wish Tali success."
