The new Binyamin Regional Council Chairman Yisrael Gantz said that he has mixed feelings after winning beating Shilo Adler in a hard-fought race.
Referring to a car crash that killed Psagot's Atar family on Tuesday, Adler said that "In light of the heavy mourning that has descended on us, we will not celebrate the great victory today, but I would like to thank all the residents of Binyamin who have given me the confidence to lead the residents of the council and build a new floor for Binyamin."
"We would also like to thank Shilo Adler for the important contest. I am convinced that he will contribute in the future to settlement in Binyamin and in general. From this moment we put all the differences behind us and I am sure we will know how to join hands and work together for the sake of the residents of Binyamin."
