Jewish Power Member Seeks Alliance With Lieberman for Government

Tali Gottlieb, who is second on the "Jewish Power" party list, believes that Avigdor Lieberman, head of Yisrael Beiteinu, will receive support to form a government under his leadership. Gottlieb stated in an interview that a national unity government is unlikely, as Gadi Eisenkot would not agree to such an arrangement. She anticipates that Benny Gvir's party will therefore remain in the ruling coalition. Gottlieb and her party colleagues are primarily looking to Lieberman for support and have expressed readiness to meet with him immediately to begin negotiations. According to Gottlieb, Gvir has already agreed to such a meeting. Gottlieb also named former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett as a potential partner, proposing that he join the right-wing bloc and abandon his pledge not to enter a coalition with Benjamin Netanyahu, citing shared ideological principles. However, current negotiation plans are focused solely on Lieberman, with no immediate plans to meet Bennett.

Earlier, Lieberman held talks with Gadi Eisenkot, leader of the "Yashar" party. This meeting occurred amidst opposition efforts to form an alternative government and remove Netanyahu from power after the coalition lost its parliamentary majority. Sources indicate that a joint meeting of the leaders of the four parties in the "change bloc" is also planned in the coming days.
