The Yesha Council launched the Judea and Samaria Situation Room (JSR) on Tuesday, a new information hub designed to centralize reports, documentation, and data from across Judea and Samaria. Operating in both Hebrew and English, the JSR aims to provide reliable and up-to-date information to the public, media, and international bodies, countering false narratives and campaigns against Israeli settlements and the state.
The situation room utilizes advanced technological systems and is connected to security centers, farmers, and other relevant entities in the field. Through sophisticated collection and monitoring capabilities, it offers a current and trustworthy overview of events in Judea and Samaria, including developments within the Arab street and the Palestinian Authority.
JSR will disseminate reports and documentation in Hebrew and English via WhatsApp, Telegram, and X, and will also provide the media with in-depth reviews and research. Yisrael Gantz, Head of the Benjamin Regional Council and Chairman of the Yesha Council, stated that the initiative is a "groundbreaking project of national importance for the image of the State of Israel." He added that it fills a long-standing need for a single information source directly connected to the ground, presenting the "true picture." Gantz emphasized that JSR will counter the "industry of lies and fake news" by presenting facts and documentation, ensuring that the narrative is not left to those who seek to tarnish the settlements and Israel.
He thanked Omer Rachamim, CEO of the Yesha Council, for realizing the vision, and Hagai Tam, the acting CEO, for bringing the project to completion, along with the professional teams involved. Hagai Tam described the JSR as an advanced technological hub with unprecedented capabilities in Israel, connecting all relevant parties and building a professional system for reliable information dissemination, which he believes will change how information from Judea and Samaria reaches the public.
