Likud MK Tali Gottlieb Threatens Netanyahu Over Justice Minister Appointment
Tali Gottlieb, a Likud Member of Knesset who placed 12th in the party primaries, has escalated her conflict with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Earlier on Tuesday, she accused Netanyahu's office of attempting to undermine her political standing. Gottlieb declared she still aims to become Justice Minister and warned Netanyahu that it would be a serious mistake not to appoint her to the position.
This confrontation follows repeated warnings from Netanyahu's office to Likud members against supporting Gottlieb, citing concerns about her independence and suggesting she might not align with the party's official line. Sources indicate Netanyahu fears her autonomy could challenge his leadership within the party.
Gottlieb's public threats mark a significant intensification in internal Likud tensions ahead of key appointments, highlighting ongoing struggles over control and influence within the party leadership.
