Hi Bernard please find below the answers to your questions which have been approved as well by Dr.Wilf. Thank you for the thoughtful questions and for taking the care to distinguish Dr. Wilf’s views from the joint list’s platform. *Gaza and the Palestinian issue* The Reservist-Economic Party seeks peace based on Arab and Palestinian acceptance of Israel as the Jewish people’s nation-state. It rejects claims of return into Israel, calls for dismantling UNRWA and ending inherited Palestinian refugee status, and conditions Gaza reconstruction on institutional, educational, and civic change toward coexistence with Israel. Dr. Wilf aligns with our party and has separately proposed that Gaza be split into three pieces, the first being a piece of Gaza Annexed to Israel and the other two pieces being the “Gaza of war” and “Gaza of peace” zones, with reconstruction funding in the “Gaza of peace” conditional on renouncing refugee status and claims of return into Israel. This is consistent with the Party platform’s direction *Judea and Samaria* The Reservist-Economic Party makes Arab acceptance of Zionism a condition for any future arrangement; It supports the “responsible” settlement of Judea and Samaria. Focusing on security and strategic importance. However, support for settlement does not mean permitting violations of the law. State-approved settlements and initiatives should be supported and developed, while the seizure of private land and establishment of unauthorized outposts must not be allowed to create established facts on the ground. Dr. Wilf has personally advocated determining Israel’s borders through sovereign decisions, with annexation subject to a Knesset vote and full citizenship for residents of annexed territory, while distinguishing those areas from territory remaining under military control during the conflict. *Religion and state* Dr. Wilf has argued that religious services should be a matter of individual and community choice rather than a state service or monopoly and has articulated a Jewish argument in favor of public transportation on Shabbat. These statements do not establish detailed commitments on civil marriage, Shabbat transport, or the Chief Rabbinate; Our party is mainly in line with Dr. Wilf’s Stance. *Haredi military service* The Reservist-Economic Party supports equal-length service for every young Israeli, male and female, through a single recruitment system without separate sector-based tracks. The IDF would have first priority in selecting personnel, with others assigned to national missions; exemptions would be exceptional and based on equal, professional criteria. Fit individuals required to serve who refuse would not receive the same benefits and public subsidies as those who serve, although the proposal does not explicitly state enforcement procedures or criminal penalties. *Cost of living and housing* The Reservist-Economic Party’s economic program aims to lower the cost of living by opening the economy to competition, reducing monopoly power, and gradually lowering the tax burden. Specific measures include eliminating import tariffs and quotas; strengthening enforcement against monopolies, cartels, exclusivity arrangements, and abuses of market power; and dismantling councils and regulatory arrangements that restrict supply and competition. Small local producers would be protected from large monopolies, not through restrictions on imports. A multi-year tax-reduction program would begin with gradually lowering VAT toward a target of 12%, followed by income-tax reductions, to increase households’ disposable income and purchasing power. As for housing, those who serve would also receive priority in housing and land-allocation benefits. *Judicial reform* Dr. Wilf advocates strengthening the Knesset relative to both the government and judiciary, combining parliamentary sovereignty with respect for the rule of law. This should not be read as endorsement of a particular appointment mechanism or override threshold, neither of which is specified in her academic works. *Personal views versus joint-list positions* Universal service, service-linked benefits, competition and tax reform, and the security and foreign-policy principles outlined above are party platform commitments. Dr. Wilf’s views on foreign and security policy are largely aligned with the joint Party platform and are not rejected by the party. However, her additional statements, including earlier Oz positions, should remain separately attributed unless our party has formally adopted them. It is therefore important to distinguish a “personal position” from a “disagreement with the party.” A separately expressed view does not, in itself, indicate a policy difference, so we would suggest revisiting the statement that she “breaks with the party line on seven issues” and identifying any specific, documented differences instead. Thank you again for taking the care to represent both Dr. Wilf’s views and our Party’s positions accurately. Best regards, Yonatan Lui
