Likud lawmaker Tally Gotliv berates a representative of a bereaved family at a hearing on Haredi enlistment, screaming at him for criticizing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“You don’t talk like that about the prime minister,” Gotliv shouts at Amit Segev, whose sister’s family was killed on October 7, after he declares that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his friends are a “group of corrupt people and criminals.”
Her comments spark a shouting match with opposition lawmakers. MK Gilad Kariv yells that she is “insolent” and should “bow your head in front of the families.”
In response, Gotliv shouts that the Labor lawmaker is posturing ahead of his party’s upcoming primary — in which he is not running — and that she is “not impressed by your screaming.”
The firebrand MK is known for unbridled outbursts. During a recent Likud faction meeting, she accused Regional Cooperation Minister David Amsalem of drinking on the job after he told her to “stop disturbing people. You aren’t letting anyone speak.”
