Tali Gottlieb on Likud: "They didn't even have a moment of insight"

MK Tali Gottlieb of Otzma Yehudit sharply criticized the Likud campaign, arguing that its call for a broad national government legitimized the rival bloc. She said Likud should have warned against Eisenkot, Bennett, and Lieberman. She also attacked the possibility of a government supported by Arab factions and called on the Shin Bet chief to act.

MK Tali Gottlieb of Otzma Yehudit sharply criticized the election campaign of Likud, her former party, in an interview with Boaz Golan's program "The Open Studio." According to her, the call for a broad national government legitimized the rival bloc instead of warning right-wing voters against cooperation with Gadi Eisenkot, Naftali Bennett, and Avigdor Lieberman. Gottlieb claimed that Likud "didn't even have a moment of insight" to remind right-wing voters who these individuals are. She also attacked the possibility of a government supported by Ra'am or the Joint List, exclaiming, "Have you lost your minds?! What are you doing?" She expressed concern about steps a government led by Eisenkot might advance, including evacuating outposts and changing security policy, warning: "In six months, the left will do here what we couldn't do in 30 years." Gottlieb also criticized Shin Bet chief David Zini and called on him to fire the head of the investigations division if he is preventing the advancement of the investigation.
