In an unprecedented move to seize the initiative in the ongoing information war, the Yesha Council officially launched the Judea and Samaria Situation Room (JSR) on Tuesday. Operating simultaneously in English and Hebrew, the new central information hub is designed to deliver verified, real-time ground truth to the public, international media outlets, policymakers, and civic leaders, mounting an active counter-offensive against coordinated disinformation campaigns targeting Israel and the communities of Judea and Samaria.
Powered by cutting-edge monitoring technologies, JSR establishes a direct digital bridge to regional security operations centers, agricultural outposts, local emergency squads, and field monitors. By unifying these intelligence streams under one roof, the situation room tracks live operational developments across the territory, documenting confrontations, security incidents, and internal socio-political trends inside ‘Palestinian’ Authority cities and surrounding Arab villages. JSR will disseminate rapid reports, raw incident footage, verified data, and analytical briefings across major digital platforms—including WhatsApp, Telegram, and X—alongside deep-dive research dossiers tailored for domestic and foreign correspondents.
Yisrael Ganz, Chairman of the Yesha Council and Governor of the Binyamin Region, underscored the initiative’s strategic imperative, framing it as an essential diplomatic shield: “Today, we are launching a groundbreaking initiative of vital national importance for Israel’s image and global standing,” Ganz said. “We have brought together elite technology, institutional expertise, and field-tested professionals to build what has been missing for years: the eyes of Judea and Samaria. A single, authoritative source of information directly plugged into the ground, dedicated to presenting the unvarnished reality of what is happening here.”
1+Ganz emphasized that the platform is engineered to directly dismantle hostile media narratives: “Faced with an organized industry of deception that seeks to transform false accusations into conventional wisdom, we are responding with verifiable facts, visual evidence, and hard data,” he continued. “We will no longer surrender the narrative to those whose sole agenda is to demonize the communities of Judea and Samaria and delegitimize the State of Israel. JSR will serve as the indispensable primary source for anyone worldwide seeking to understand the facts on the ground.” Ganz also credited former Yesha Council CEO Omer Rahamim, who spearheaded the architectural vision and initial development of the command hub, and Acting CEO Hagai Tam, who finalized its operational deployment, along with the council’s specialized operational staff.
Hagai Tam, Acting CEO of the Yesha Council, pointed out that the platform introduces intelligence-grade coordination rarely deployed in public diplomacy: “We are proud to unveil an advanced, technology-driven situation room equipped with capabilities never before assembled under one roof in Israel,” Tam said. “By directly linking every frontline source into an integrated operational hub, we have established a professional apparatus capable of delivering rapid, verified intelligence as events unfold. This represents a transformative leap in how ground developments across Judea and Samaria are communicated to the public, both domestically and across the globe.”
1+With international media attention increasingly focused on agricultural skirmishes, sovereignty debates, and security measures throughout Judea and Samaria, JSR is positioned to provide rapid-rebuttal evidence, ensuring that distorted footage and unverified claims no longer dictate the global discourse unchallenged.
