MK Tally Gotliv will be given the second place on Otzma Yehudit's list for the upcoming Knesset elections, party leader and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir announced at a press conference on Friday.
Initially, she was given third place on the list, but was raised to second after Yitzhak Wasserlauf volunteered to drop down one place.
Notably, given the way that the electoral threshold works in Israel's Knesset elections, placing within the top four seats is a technicality, as the minimum number of seats a party list can be granted is four after passing the 3.25% electoral threshold.
Gotliv has not officially resigned from the Knesset or the Likud party, and thus is able to continue serving and maintain political immunity from prosecution until the slated elections are held.
