No. 27: Israel Ganz and Erez Winner: Advocates shaping Israel’s case for sovereignty and resilience

Israel Ganz, head of the Binyamin Regional Council and the Yesha Council, has actively promoted Israeli sovereignty over parts of the West Bank. In 5786, he engaged in US outreach, leading a delegation to Arkansas to foster economic cooperation and meeting with conservative networks, which resulted in CPAC adopting a resolution supporting Israeli sovereignty. Ganz condemned international sanctions against settlers as a "dangerous misunderstanding" and called for the dismantling of the Palestinian Authority. He has urged the Israeli government to adopt a formal "Sovereignty Declaration," stating, "Backed by the American superpower, we must apply sovereignty over Judea and Samaria."
