Biography
Gottlieb was born on 3 November 1975[2] in Bnei Brak.[3] Gottlieb has a Master's degree in Jurisprudence from Bar-Ilan University, and worked for a time for the State Attorney in Tel Aviv district. Since 2000, Gottlieb has worked as a lawyer, specializing in criminal law.[citation needed]
During her career as a lawyer, Tali Gottlieb has been in the headlines primarily for representing defendants accused of sex crimes.[4] One case involved a 16-year-old girl whose attacker was convicted of rape and indecent acts committed when she was 14. Gottlieb represented the attacker. After the girl published a victorious post about her difficult and significant legal journey, Gottlieb responded with a social media post that criticized the girl and called her testimony "distorted." She also mocked the girl and quoted from the investigation materials and her court testimony, even after her client had already been convicted.[4]
The Association of Rape Crisis Centers in Israel filed a complaint against Gottlieb with the Ethics Committee of the Israel Bar Association. The complaint stated that there was no need to elaborate on the harsh and crude damage caused by Gottlieb's actions, not only to the young complainant but also to the dignity of the legal profession and the public trust in those engaged in it. According to the complaint the victim was a minor, and despite a judicial decision recognizing the crime committed against her, she had to deal with defamation and slander from a professional and mature party, clearly unable to defend herself against such comments. However, the Israel Bar Association decided to shelve the complaint.[4]
In 2012, Gotlieb faced rejection during a course for judicial candidates, disqualified by the evaluation center for prospective judges based on the criteria of "judicial temperament."[5].
In 2016, Gottlieb ran for the chairmanship of the Israel Bar Association against Efi Nave, becoming the first woman to run for the office.[6] However, she ended up in last place in the election.[4]
Until May 2022, Gottlieb participated in Channel 13's Shishi as a panelist.[7]
Ahead of the April 2019 election, Gottlieb helped found Shavim, a political party meant to promote equality between parents and for those with disabilities. She given the second spot on the party's electoral list. The party proceeded to win 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.[8][1]
After Israeli settlers attacked the Palestinian village of Huwara, burning down dozens of houses and killing one civilian, Gottlieb drew attention for refusing to condemn the attacks.[9]
On the 12th of February, 2023, Gottlieb tweeted an accusation against Supreme Court President Esther Hayut holding her responsible for a terrorist attack that took place in the Ramot neighborhood of Jerusalem, where three people were killed. As a result, Knesset Ethics Committee has banned the Likud MK from speaking at plenary sessions for two meetings and from participating in committee meetings for three sessions.[10]
Personal life
Gottlieb is divorced and has three children, one of whom is autistic.[11] She resides in Giv'at Shmuel.[3]
