  • Otzma Yehudit leader Itamar Ben-Gvir announced that Knesset member Tally Gotliv will take second place on the party’s list for the upcoming elections.
  • Gotliv received the higher position after Yitzhak Wasserlauf agreed to move down one place.
  • Gotliv has not formally resigned from the Knesset or Likud, allowing her to retain parliamentary immunity until the election.

Tally Gotliv will take second place on Otzma Yehudit’s list for the upcoming Knesset elections, party leader Itamar Ben-Gvir announced at a press conference on Friday.

Gotliv had initially been placed third. Her position rose after Yitzhak Wasserlauf volunteered to move down one place.

The ranking has limited practical significance under Israel’s electoral system. Once a party crosses the 3.25% electoral threshold, its list must receive at least four seats, making placement within the top four largely a technical matter.

Gotliv has not officially resigned from either the Knesset or the Likud party. She can therefore continue serving and retain parliamentary immunity from prosecution until the scheduled elections. The story is developing.
