Likud MK Tali Gottlieb Vows to Oppose Unity Government and Centrist Shift

Likud Member of Knesset Tali Gottlieb concluded the party's primaries by affirming her realistic placement for the upcoming elections despite efforts by Prime Minister Netanyahu's circle to weaken her. Gottlieb claimed that coordinated voting blocs were instructed not to support her, yet she secured her position thanks to the backing of party members who registered to vote. She warned against any political shift toward the center, specifically criticizing advisors who might lean toward Benny Gantz or a unity government with the left. Gottlieb declared she would vocally oppose such moves, stating, "If the Prime Minister's advisors flirt with the center toward Gantz, unity, or the left, I will not remain silent, even if I am banned from interviews." This statement signals her firm stance against any coalition that includes centrist or left-wing elements within the Likud framework ahead of the next elections.
