Israel Ganz, head of the Yesha Council, saved a Palestinian motorist’s life during the weekend.
In security footage released by the council on Sunday, Ganz arrived at the Shaar Binyamin Junction north of Jerusalem where two cars had collided. Just before the Palestinian car caught fire, Ganz pulled the driver out of the vehicle, then returned to the car at personal risk to see if anyone else was trapped.
The Yesha Council is an umbrella organization for all the communities in Judea and Samaria, representing the interests of around 500,000 Israelis.
Ganz — who is also head of the Binyamin Regional Council, one of several regional councils and municipalities in Judea and Samaria — was elected Yesha chairman in May.
