Christian Zionist Group Launches Visitor Center on Mount Gerizim

A Christian Zionist organization, The Israel Guys, inaugurated a new visitor centre in the Har Bracha community on Mount Gerizim (Mount of Blessing) in Samaria on July 30, 2026. The centre, built by about 70 volunteers from the United States on land provided by the Samaria Regional Council, includes a coffee shop, wine‑tasting facilities and guided tours of the area.

Joshua Waller, chief executive officer of The Israel Guys, said the site offers “a place in Samaria where the nations can come to see what it means to fulfill their role in the biblical heartland.” The opening was attended by Yossi Dagan, head of the Samaria Regional Council, and Rabbi Eliezer Melamed of the Har Bracha Yeshivah, who both praised the partnership. Founder Tommy Waller highlighted the centre’s symbolic value after the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack, emphasizing shared values between Jews and non‑Jews.
