Responding to reports that Prime Minister Netanyahu wants to distance her from the Likud party, MK Tally Gotliv (Likud) said Sunday night she is loyal to the party and the prime minister, and urged supporters not to let 'fake news' weaken them.
MK Tally Gotliv (Likud) responded late Sunday to reports that Prime Minister Netanyahu seeks to distance her from the party ahead of the upcoming elections. In a statement posted to social media, Gotliv said: 'I am loyal to Likud and loyal to the prime minister, and the prime minister is loyal to us and to me. Don't let their fake news weaken us.'
The remarks come amid internal Likud tensions over the party's direction and candidate list. Gotliv, a vocal right-wing figure, has previously clashed with party leadership over coalition policy and the handling of the hostage deal. As The Zioneer has reported, she has warned Netanyahu against bringing partners who support a Palestinian state into a broad government, and has demanded the Justice portfolio if re-elected.
The reports of a rift with Netanyahu — which Gotliv's statement implicitly denies — have not been confirmed by official sources. The prime minister's office has not commented on the matter.
