Tally Gotliv Denies Report That Netanyahu Is Considering Reserved Slots for Moshe Kahlon and Haim Bibas

Religious-right
Translated & summarized from Srugim by baba
The story · English

MK Tally Gotliv responded on Tuesday to reports that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was planning to reserve spots on the Likud list for Moshe Kahlon and Haim Bibas. Gotliv said Netanyahu is “absolutely, absolutely not considering” doing so, and dismissed the reports as “insane spin.”

She added that the purpose of such rumors is “to stir up discord among many good right-wing activists.” Her remarks came amid growing turmoil over the reserved slots issue inside the party.

At the same time, the dispute escalated further when Netanyahu reportedly threatened MK David Bitan, telling him that if he does not get the reserved slots he wants, he will take his people and leave with them. The article also notes that, in a related matter, Netanyahu is “exploding” during his trial, saying, “I never dreamed this would happen, it is shocking.”
