The Yesha Council has launched a new information center called JSR, the Judea and Samaria Situation Room. This initiative aims to consolidate reports, documentation, and data from across Judea and Samaria, making it accessible to the public and media in Israel and internationally. Operating in both Hebrew and English, the center's stated purpose is to provide reliable, up-to-date information from the ground and counter disinformation campaigns against Israeli settlements and the State of Israel.
The JSR utilizes technological systems for information collection and monitoring, connecting with security centers in local authorities, farmers, and other field personnel. It will generate a continuous situational assessment of events in Judea and Samaria, including developments within the Arab street and the Palestinian Authority. The collected information and documentation will be disseminated via Telegram, Twitter, and WhatsApp channels in both languages. The center will also provide media outlets with regular updates, in-depth reviews, and research.
Yisrael Gantz, Chairman of the Yesha Council and Head of the Benjamin Regional Council, stated that the project represents a significant investment in technology and personnel to create a unified source of information. He emphasized that the JSR will present facts and evidence to counter what he described as a "lie industry" aiming to tarnish settlements and Israel. Hagai Tam, Acting Director-General of the Yesha Council, added that the center will consolidate relevant field sources to provide credible information, aiming to change how information from Judea and Samaria reaches the public.
