Wilf also discusses the party's red lines, including universal conscription and economic reform.

Former MK Einat Wilf, running for Knesset in the third slot on the Reservists-Economic Party list, laid out her vision for Gaza in an interview with The Jerusalem Post. Wilf argued that the next government must develop a clear plan that does not include reconstruction and instead addresses the ideology that enabled Hamas to attack Israel. She said the goal should be a larger shift in the ideology of Gaza's population, disarming Hamas from its ideological backing. Wilf stated that Israel has a responsibility to stop treating Palestinians as infants and instead respect them as a capable enemy. She also discussed the party's political red lines, including joining only a Zionist government and demanding a universal conscription law. Wilf said her ideal position in the next government would be foreign minister.
