Israel is losing the war of narratives: Einat Wilf unveils plan to fight back

Former MK Dr. Einat Wilf, a candidate on Israel's Reservists-Economic Party ticket, unveiled a national strategy on Sunday aimed at combating negative international narratives about Israel. The seven-point plan, authored by Wilf, calls for expanding the Foreign Ministry's resources and integrating a "war of consciousness" into Israel's national security decision-making process.

The proposal suggests creating a centralized information and intelligence hub, forming international political alliances, and using various tools to counter anti-Israel supporters. Wilf, if elected, would lead the implementation of this plan in the next Knesset and government. This policy shift marks a departure from Wilf's previous stance, focusing on Israel's perceived failures internationally.

At the heart of the plan is treating international public opinion and narratives as national security concerns, rather than secondary issues. The party aims to shift from a reactive to a proactive stance, shaping the international debate instead of merely responding to criticism. The proposal does not specify a budget or implementation timeline, but it does call for Israel to view international narratives as a critical aspect of its national security.
