Biography

Revital (Tally) Gotliv was born in Bnei Brak[2][3] to Shimon and Ruth. Gotliv has a Master's degree in Jurisprudence from Bar-Ilan University.

Gotliv is divorced and has three children, one of whom is autistic.[4] She resides in Giv'at Shmuel.[3]

Gotliv worked for the State Attorney in Tel Aviv district. Gotliv has primarily represented defendants accused of sex crimes.[5] In the case of a 16-year-old girl whose attacker was convicted of rape and indecent acts committed when the girl was 14, Gotliv criticized the girl on social media and called her testimony "distorted."[5] The Association of Rape Crisis Centers in Israel filed a complaint against Gotliv with the Ethics Committee of the Israel Bar Association. However, the Israel Bar Association decided to shelve the complaint.[5]

In 2012, Gotliv was disqualified by the evaluation center for prospective judges based on the criteria of "judicial temperament."[6]

In 2016, Gotliv ran for chairmanship of the Israel Bar Association, becoming the first woman to run for the office.[7] She came in last place.[5]

Until May 2022, Gotliv appeared as a panelist on Channel 13's Shishi.[8]

Political career

Ahead of the April 2019 election, Gotliv helped found Shavim, a political party meant to promote equality between parents and for those with disabilities. She was given the second spot on the party's electoral list. The party won 401 votes. During the 2022 election, She ran for a spot on the Likud's electoral list, and was elected to the twenty-fifth spot.[9][1]

Views

After the 2023 Huwara rampage, Gotliv refused to condemn the attacks.[10] In February 2023, she posted a tweet accusing Supreme Court President Esther Hayut of responsibility for a terrorist attack that took place in the Ramot neighborhood of Jerusalem in which three people were killed. As a result, Knesset Ethics Committee banned her from speaking at plenary sessions for two meetings and participating in committee meetings for three sessions.[11]

During the October 2023 Gaza–Israel conflict, Gotliv called for the use of a nuclear Jericho missile, which she referred to as a "doomsday device",[12][13] later saying "Only an explosion that shakes the Middle East will restore this country’s dignity, strength, and security. It’s time for a doomsday weapon shooting powerful missiles without limit. Not flattening a neighborhood, crushing and flattening Gaza."[13]

Gottliv has also called for subjecting "the Gaza population" to "thirst and hunger" as a means to achieve military objectives, including the release of Israeli citizens held as hostages by Hamas.[14] "Starvation as a Method of Warfare" is a war crime according to the Geneva Conventions.
