Israeli MK Tali Gutliv Accuses Senior Likud Ministers of Trying to Oust Her

Knesset member Tali Gutliv, a prominent Likud lawmaker, said she is the target of an intra‑party campaign to remove her from the party’s election list. In an interview she named ministers Yair Livan, Chaim Katz and Israel Katz as opponents, stating: “Who really doesn’t want me in Likud are Livan, Chaim Katz and Israel Katz!” She rejected rumors that Prime Minister Netanyahu opposes her and criticized “decorations committees” that she says try to dictate politicians’ actions. Gutliv emphasized that she will not submit to any “structured committee” and pledged to remain loyal to the electorate ahead of the upcoming elections.
