Likud MK Tali Gottlieb Expected to Join Otzma Yehudit Party
Senior Likud officials believe that Knesset Member Tali Gottlieb will move to the Otzma Yehudit faction due to escalating tensions between her and the Likud party. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly does not intend to contest Gottlieb's departure and will permit the move. To facilitate this transition, Gottlieb will not be declared a defector, and the Likud party will not claim her allocated funding.
This development follows a period of public disagreements between Gottlieb and the Likud leadership. Her potential move to Otzma Yehudit, a party led by National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, signifies a shift in the political landscape within the right-wing bloc. The report suggests that the Likud is prepared to let Gottlieb leave without a fight, indicating a potential strategic decision to avoid further internal conflict or to accommodate shifting political alliances.
