Running for equal service for everyone

Who they are

Born in Jerusalem in 1970, Wilf served as an officer in Unit 8200, took a degree at Harvard, an MBA at INSEAD and a doctorate in political science at Cambridge, and worked at McKinsey and in venture capital. She advised Shimon Peres on foreign policy from 2002 and entered the Knesset for Labor in 2010, leaving with Ehud Barak for the Independence faction and chairing the Education Committee. She is best known abroad as the sharpest Israeli critic of UNRWA and as the co-author, with Adi Schwartz, of The War of Return.

Positions and record

Conscription: Draft everyone first, and strip every benefit and state service from those who refuse.

A Palestinian state: Says she is for it the day Palestinians want a state beside Israel rather than in place of it.

Religion and state: Rabbis should hold no state authority and the state should fund no religious services.
