  "account": "Otzma Yehudit leader Itamar Ben-Gvir urged Likud to finalize Tally Gotliv's transfer to his party today, urging the opposition to stop making empty statements and provide concrete offers instead of releasing empty briefings to the media. Ben-Gvir made the request following Gotliv's statement on KAN Reshet Bet, where she indicated her willingness to consider joining Otzma Yehudit if presented with a worthwhile proposal. The Knesset member told KAN that she would seriously consider any concrete offer from Otzma Yehudit, as she wanted to contribute her skills to a cause she believed in. Gotliv expressed her disappointment and frustration, stating that she had been deliberately targeted during Likud's primaries, which ultimately pushed her to the 20th position on the party's list. She claimed that Prime Minister Netanyahu had reserved slots on the Likud list, making it difficult for her to secure a better position.",
