Member of Knesset Tali Gottlieb has sharply criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, accusing him of attempting to sideline Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir. The criticism, voiced on social media platform X, followed Netanyahu's statement at a conference in Acre that if he forms the next government, the portfolios for defense and national security would remain with the Likud party. Gottlieb suggested Netanyahu prefers "submissive people who bow their heads and obey your orders," contrasting this with her past defense of him as someone who would want strong individuals around him. She lauded Ben-Gvir as "the best minister in your government," citing his accomplishments in prison reforms, demolition of illegal structures in the Negev, expansion of gun licenses, and salary increases for police and prison officers. Gottlieb questioned Netanyahu's motives, asking if he feared Ben-Gvir and was trying to push away a leader. She urged right-wing voters to strengthen the Otzma Yehudit party, asserting that only a strong party can keep Netanyahu on the right and ensure the defense, national security, and justice portfolios are held by them. Gottlieb warned that otherwise, the government would include figures like Haim Katz and Gabi Eisenkot, representing "nothingness."
