Yisrael Ganz, governor of the Binyamin Regional Council and chairman of the Yesha Council, keeps a packed schedule. In an exclusive interview with JNS this week, he said he is working tirelessly to advance development in Judea and Samaria, driven by a belief that the current political moment may not last.

“We are in a very tight window right now,” Ganz said.

He noted that Israel is entering election season and that the United States faces upcoming midterm elections. “We are fortunate to have a right-wing government,” he said. “We also have President Trump in full control, but it won’t last forever.”
