Knesset member Tally Gottlieb says she does not regret leaving the Likud for the Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power) party. In an interview with the Israeli news site Srugim, she said she is happy with her decision and explained how she sees the difference between the two parties.

Asked what actually separates Likud from Otzma Yehudit, Gottlieb answered without hesitation that Otzma Yehudit is "a right-wing standard-bearer that isn't confused." Srugim described the remark as a clear dig at Likud, the party she belonged to until recently.

Gottlieb also explained why she feels a connection to Otzma Yehudit in particular. "Otzma Yehudit has said all along: the state of the Jewish people, without lowering our heads and without apologizing for it," she said.

She added: "The moment you apologize for your existence, you lose."

According to Srugim, Gottlieb appears comfortable in her new party and does not seem to miss Likud.
