'Stop treating them like infants': Einat Wilf's plan to disarm Hamas in next government - interview
Einat Wilf, a former MK, is running for the Knesset with the People of Israel party, and laid out her plan to ensure Israel's and the Jewish diaspora's security.
Israeli public diplomat Einat Wilf has proposed a plan for Gaza that does not include reconstruction, but instead focuses on changing the ideology that enabled Hamas to attack Israel, according to a recent interview with The Jerusalem Post. Wilf, a former Labor MK and Knesset candidate for the People of Israel party led by Yoaz Hendel, emphasized the need to stop treating Hamas as infants and instead address the ideological threat they pose.
She stated that Israel must couple positive vision with harsh actions on the ground to achieve its goals in Gaza. Wilf explained that the goal should be to shift the population's ideology from one of destruction to one of building, which would involve disarming Hamas from its ideological backing. She also highlighted the importance of repairing Israel's relationship with the diaspora following the October 7 Hamas massacre in 2023.
