Likud MK Tally Gotliv said Monday afternoon that she just met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who thanked her for her work in the outgoing term. Gotliv stated she will complete the fight against the 'tyranny of bureaucracy,' curb the power of the High Court, and pledged not to rest until bringing to justice the 'conspirators and malicious persecutors' against Netanyahu and the right-wing camp, according to a Telegram post.
Likud MK Tally Gotliv on Monday afternoon issued a statement on Telegram following a meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, vowing to curb the power of the High Court of Justice and to bring "conspirators and malicious persecutors" against Netanyahu and the right-wing camp to justice. The statement, which Gotliv said included Netanyahu thanking her for her work in the outgoing term and conveying thanks from his wife and son, marks her own account of the meeting after earlier reports focused on a possible party change.
The meeting was first reported by political correspondent Amit Segal (N12) at around 11:51 Jerusalem, who said Netanyahu had wished Gotliv success in the Otzma Yehudit party led by National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, indicating a likely move. Gotliv's subsequent Telegram post did not mention Otzma Yehudit or any intention to leave Likud, instead reiterating her loyalty and her commitment to completing the fight against the "tyranny of the bureaucracy" and judicial overreach.
Gotliv, a vocal coalition voice on judicial reform, has a history of clashing with the opposition and legal establishment. As The Zioneer previously reported, she has stated she would demand the Justice portfolio if re-elected (Mon Jun 22, 19:29 Jerusalem), and has described herself as a "soldier on the battlefield" against what she calls persecution by the judicial system (Tue Jun 9, 17:39 Jerusalem). She also pushed back against reports that Netanyahu aimed to distance her from Likud, asserting her loyalty to both the party and the prime minister (Sun Jul 12, 01:00 Jerusalem).
It remains unclear whether Gotliv intends to remain in Likud or consider a move to Otzma Yehudit. Her statement focused on her legislative agenda and did not address future party affiliation. Earlier reports of Netanyahu's alleged remark about Otzma Yehudit have not been confirmed by the Prime Minister's Office or by Gotliv.
