Wunsh, who spent her formative years in Canada, said that she is praying for peace for Israel, peace for the world and step-by-step we will be able to fulfill our mission with courage and humility and to continue doing everything we can to materialize the mission of Israel.”
Labeled by the JPost as a liberal Modern Orthodox MK has been known to quote from the Bible. She once made a speech about Korah which recalls an argument that was for the sake of power but was disguised as an argument for the sake of God.
“I can fight, but I don’t have to fight the way that is dictated to me,” she said. “I can fight differently, without mudslinging. I don’t plan on playing the game how someone else prescribes. There is a smarter way to advance the issues.”
