MK Tally Gotliv says she would consider joining Ben-Gvir if 'good concrete offer' presented

MK Tally Gotliv, a member of Likud's parliament, has indicated she might consider joining Itamar Ben-Gvir's party Otzma Yehudit if a favorable offer is presented, according to KAN Reshet Bet. The comments come after Gotliv received the 20th slot on Likud's list, following which Ben-Gvir reportedly expressed willingness to have her join his party.

Gotliv stated she would "very much like" to receive a "concrete offer" from Otzma Yehudit and would give it "serious consideration". She emphasized that she owes it to her constituents to seriously contemplate any viable proposal that would enable her to utilize her skills effectively. Gotliv clarified that the Prime Minister owes her nothing; he is not obligated to appoint her to the role of Justice Minister or any other ministerial post, nor will he appoint her to an important committee.

Gotliv alleged she was targeted unfairly during the party's primaries, as Netanyahu's reserved seats on Likud's list pushed her to the 20th position. She expressed her disappointment, stating that if they granted her the 12th spot, which she had previously held, she would be delighted. However, if they provide excuses, Gotliv would perceive it as a sign that not only is she being marginalized within Likud but they are also trying to prevent her from advocating for her views.

Despite these challenges, Gotliv maintains her loyalty to Likud and the Prime Minister. She attributed her placement on the Likud list to the ongoing judicial reform, accusing Netanyahu of attempting to sideline her. Following the publication of recordings by N12, Gotliv published a post on X/Twitter, affirming her unwavering dedication to the Prime Minister and the right-wing government, despite her refusal to act as a "doormat" while fighting against the perceived overreach of unelected officials and their "outrageous" rulings on various issues.
