Israel Ganz is the Governor of the Binyamin Regional Council, which oversees the largest Israeli-controlled area in Judea and Samaria — otherwise known as the West Bank.

A long-time advocate for Jewish life and security in Judea and Samaria, Ganz plays a major role in shaping Israeli policy on settlements and advocates for advancing Israeli sovereignty over the entire contested region.

As tensions escalate and Iran and its proxies grow more desperate, protecting Israeli communities will become even more critical. And while some in the US push for a two-state solution, Gantz believes a Palestinian state in Judea and Samaria would inevitably endanger Israeli lives.

What was discussed:

• Why Israel’s settler leadership sees October 7 as a turning point for sovereignty
• The data behind Arab support for the Hamas massacre
• How foreign governments are funding illegal Palestinian construction
• How the PA pays families of terrorists — and why that matters for policy
• Why the “two-state solution” is viewed by many Israeli leaders as suicidal
