Yisrael Ganz, governor of the Binyamin Regional Council and chairman of the Yesha Council, told Newsmax on Tuesday that the Palestinian Authority (PA) has given Israel almost three decades of proof as to why it should not run the disputed territory of Judea and Samaria.
“We tried the PA for almost 30 years,” Ganz told “Carl Higbie Frontline” on location in Israel. “It’s brought terror, a lot of blood to this area. We have to change that. Even you know, in the United States, the PA, they are corrupt. They didn’t have an election for 20 years. They have an army, and they murder everyone that … not think like them. We have to change that. We are a democracy … and we have to let only democracies to stay in this area. And we care about the rights to vote, to live a better life here, and we will make it.”
Referring to Judea and Samaria, Ganz said that Israel has to “make it clear” after Oct. 7, 2023, that “we will never let a terrorist state in the heart of our state” because it would “risk Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.”
