'Stop empty statements': Ben-Gvir warns Likud against preventing Gotliv's move to Otzma Yehudit

National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, leader of Otzma Yehudit, issued an ultimatum to Likud on Wednesday regarding the potential transfer of MK Tally Gotliv to his party. Ben-Gvir stated that if Likud intends for Gotliv to run with Otzma Yehudit in the upcoming elections, the transfer procedures must be completed today, rather than sending "empty briefings to the media." This follows Gotliv's Tuesday remarks to KAN Reshet Bet, where she expressed openness to joining Otzma Yehudit if she received "a good concrete offer." Gotliv indicated she would "consider it seriously" to serve her voters, noting that Prime Minister Netanyahu was not obligated to appoint her to any ministerial or committee chair position. She also claimed she was deliberately targeted during Likud's primaries, which pushed her to the 20th spot on the party list.
