Biography

edit

Milwidsky was born in 1973 in Jerusalem.[1]

He earned an LLB at Reichman University and an MA in Jewish history at the University of Haifa.[2] He worked as a legal advisor to the Bnei Baruch organisation.[3]

In 2013 he was elected to Petah Tikva city council, going on to serve as deputy mayor.[2] Previously a member of Yesh Atid, prior to the 2022 Knesset elections Milwidsky was placed twenty-sixth on the Likud list.[4] He was elected to the Knesset as the party won 32 seats.

After some Israeli soldiers were suspected of raping a male Palestinian prisoner in Sde Teiman detention camp, and “inserting a stick in a person’s rectum”, Milwidsky argued in the Knesset in July 2024 that it is permissible to sexually abuse Hamas commandos of the Nukhba: "…everything is legitimate to do. Everything."[5]
