Firebrand Likud MK Tally Gotliv is set to replace MK Yuli Edelstein as a member of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, after he was ousted earlier today as part of an internal party spat.
Gotliv, who is best known for her outbursts and controversial statements, is set to join the powerful committee, according to Hebrew media reports.
In addition to receiving classified briefings, the committee is also at the center of the highly contentious efforts to advance legislation that would regulate the conscription of the ultra-Orthodox community in the IDF.
