Polls presented to Prime Minister Netanyahu indicate that placing controversial lawmaker Tali Gottlieb high on the Likud party list could jeopardize the party’s chances in the upcoming general elections. Concerns center on Gottlieb’s far-right views potentially alienating moderate voters. The polls suggest the Likud could lose 2-3 seats if Gottlieb receives a prominent position on the ballot. Gottlieb herself maintains she is a significant electoral asset for the right-wing, and that Netanyahu is aware of her voter appeal. This internal debate highlights tensions within the Likud party regarding its electoral strategy and the balance between appealing to its base and broadening its support. The situation presents a challenge for Netanyahu as he finalizes the party’s candidate list.
