With an overwhelming majority vote of confidence by the extended general board of The Yesha Council, Pinchas Vallerstein, former mayor of The Binyamin Regional council, was elected to the position of General Director of Yesha in Thursday evening's vote. He was also installed a member of the board with full voting privileges.
With only a small dissenting group, Vallerstein received strong support from what is known as "the new Yesha" leadership as well as the more established leadership. The unification of both groups heralds in an era of hope in what has been a discouraging several years for both The Regional Council and Greater Israel supporters in general.
