Mayor of Gush Etzion Shlomo Ne’eman has been appointed as the new chairman of Moetzet Yesha, the official council of Judea and Samaria.
Ne’eman said that he sees his new appointment as “…as a great responsibility and a significant mission for the settlement and the people of Israel. The first task before us is to strengthen the sovereignty and the Jewish presence in the region.” He stated that this is the time to “…continue working to develop and strengthen Israeli settlement in Judea, Samaria and the Jordan Valley.”
Many challenges lie ahead for Ne’eman and we have every confidence that he will succeed in his goals for Yesha. We wish him hatzlacha in his new position to build and strengthen the Zionist dream.
