MK Advocate Tali Gottlieb (Likud), was interviewed today (Monday) on the program of Aryeh Eldad and Mia Ziv-Wolf on radio 103FM and addressed the coalition crisis and the report that Sa’ar is expected to return to Likud.
Minister Sa’ar announced on Network X this evening: “I will never go back to October 6. The attack on me in the last day by the opposition together with its media broke records of lies and cynicism, and it is really not an easy challenge.
“Archive clips are being shown that I will not sit with Netanyahu from two election campaigns. It is being announced that I will support the ‘evasion law’. And all this with moral sanctity in the mouth and an obsession with ousting Netanyahu in the heart, as if we haven’t gone through the most difficult year in our history. Everything is fake after fake after fake.
“I’ll make it easy for you: your pressure to topple the government, which is facing huge challenges in the security and political spheres, will not succeed. Your campaign against me and my family will not achieve its goal.
I am proud to be a partner in making decisions that strengthened Israel’s security and restored to Israel its image of strength in the region and in the world. I dedicate nights and days to represent Israel in the world in the best possible way.
“I have proven that I know how to fight when necessary, pay huge prices when necessary, resign when I believe in it, give up any position including the prime ministership and not stick to the chair – more than any other elected official.
I will never go back to October 6th.
The attack on me in the last day by the opposition together with its media broke records of lies and cynicism, and it is really not an easy challenge.
They are showing archive clips that I will not sit with Netanyahu from two elections ago. It is announced that I will support the “evasion law”. And all in the context of moral sanctity in the mouth and obsession…

“So now I will disappoint you even more: I am a right-wing person. I have been this way all my life and I will remain this way. I am committed to the victory of Israel (a concept that they mocked promiscuously in the studios) in the fateful campaign in its history from seven fronts – This is how I was and this is how I will remain. I am committed to the value of serving in the IDF and the public who serve – this is how I was and will remain. When choosing between politics and patriotism – for me, patriotism will always win. But the October 6 people will always prefer the Jewish wars.
“Prime Minister Netanyahu is leading a historic campaign in a way that even the most honest of his opponents admit is changing the face of the Middle East. Even in these moments, we still have existential challenges ahead of us. Who do you want to face them? Lapid?
“You want me to dedicate my life to the hatred of Netanyahu that you indulged in at the expense of the future of the country and our children? Keep wanting. I will dedicate my life for our survival in this difficult and violent space.
“All the attacks on me only strengthen me in the way I chose: to stand at the head of the political campaign as foreign minister and strengthen the government in managing the security campaign in the decisive forums. I will never go back to October 6.”
Tali Gottlieb attacked Sa’ar and said that “I don’t give prizes to people who undermined me, but on the other hand I also fully believe in the primaries and if Netanyahu finds it appropriate to shorten the PAZM for Gideon Sa’ar – that’s fine, but for the reserve? Why do the people who undermined my party and dragged us into five election campaigns deserve a prize just because they didn’t believe in Prime Minister Netanyahu? Let’s not talk about the fact that in the last year, until they entered the government, they talked about the head of the government and the government.”
“Likud voters are not trash, these are serious people with values who have the right to choose the members of the Knesset on behalf of the Likud list for the Knesset and the armor is something that should be kept for very specific things. If we were in a situation where God forbid there is a danger to the government, then I would forgive a lot Ideologies that are related to the voter’s will, but now? This government saved a dying party, Gideon Sa’ar’s party,” she claimed.
She later claimed: “Itamar Ben Gabir would not have voted against the budget if there was not a majority. Ben Gabir also protects this government. This government has a great responsibility for the State of Israel, first of all we are at war.” She went on to say: “The Prime Minister’s decision regarding the inclusion of Gideon Sa’ar as a faction – excellent, it was the strengthening of the right. I was opposed to his becoming Minister of Defense, by the way, I sat on the fence for that, that’s why he started as a minister without a portfolio. I’m not ready for the Prime Minister’s confidant to be Gideon Sa’ar. As far as I’m concerned, replacing Galant was critical and I was very happy that it was in Israel.
