Ben Gvir's demand and Netanyahu's unequivocal answer: "All of them can be given up on, but not her"

Tali Gottlieb dismissed reports of an attempt to oust her from Likud, claiming Netanyahu made clear he would not give up on her. A poll of party members places her second with 70% support, after Amir Ohana (73%) and before Boaz Bismuth (69.2%). The article covers the battle for the top of Likud, including competition with Miri Regev and assessment of Israel Katz's position.

Tali Gottlieb, a Likud Knesset member, dismissed reports of an attempt to push her out of the party's list, claiming that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made clear he would not give up on her. In an interview with Radio North 104.5FM, she said: "In the Prime Minister's circle, they concluded that I am worth 5 mandates." She added that she does not share the "arrogance and insults" of the right, and claimed that right-wing people are intelligent, which drives the left crazy. According to her, a few weeks ago a "crazy loop" began in which it was claimed that Netanyahu wanted to push her out, and he issued a response that it was the media that wanted that. However, a poll conducted by Dr. Nimrod Nir of the "Agam" Institute between August 6-10 among 1,062 Likud members shows her position is strong: she ranked second with 70% support, after Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana with 73%, and before Boaz Bismuth with 69.2%. The article also notes the battle for the top women in Likud, with Miri Regev, Gila Gamliel, and May Golan. The assessment in the party is that Ohana will finish first, followed by Eli Cohen, Yariv Levin, and Gottlieb. Israel Katz's position will depend on the identity of the leaders, with a commitment to the sixth place, likely fourth.
