Member of Knesset Tally Gotliv has publicly criticized Prime Minister Netanyahu, stating he is unwilling to reform the justice system and that the Ministry of Justice portfolio should be given to the Otzma Yehudit party. The dispute arises as elections approach and parties vie for ministerial positions. Earlier, Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir had reportedly demanded the Defense Ministry for himself and the Justice Ministry for Gotliv. Netanyahu, in closed discussions, indicated the Justice Ministry would remain with the Likud party.
In a video posted on social media platform X, Gotliv expressed no surprise at the reports and referred to Netanyahu as "a noble of the justice system" who does not wish to alter it. She asserted that only a strong Otzma Yehudit could bring about change in the judiciary. Gotliv outlined her plans for the ministry, including the immediate dismissal of the Attorney General and a change in the appointment process for Supreme Court justices, requiring a two-thirds majority approval after a hearing in the Knesset's Constitution Committee.
Gotliv, a lawyer, initially ran in the Likud primaries, securing the 20th spot on the party's Knesset list. Subsequently, she joined Otzma Yehudit as part of an agreement between the parties, where she was placed second on their list. The article also notes Netanyahu's appointment of Aharon Barak to represent Israel at the International Court of Justice in The Hague.
