Yesha is a Hebrew acronym for Judea, Samaria and Gaza. Founded in the 1970s as the successor to Gush Emunim, which spearheaded the return of Jews to their historical homeland in Judea, Samaria and the Gaza district. The population of Yesha has grown from less than 3,000 to nearly 225,000 and the number continues to grow annually. The Council represents all of the cities, towns and villages in Yesha. Its plenum is comprised of twenty five democratically elected mayors and ten other community leaders.
