With the opening of the AIPAC conference, the head of the Hevron Regional Council, Yochai Damari, called upon AIPAC leaders to stand up and defend the State of Israel and communities in Judea and Samaria and declare that they will not support Trump's peace plan if it includes territorial concessions.
"The heads of AIPAC must now stand on Israel's right and the right of settlement, in anticipation of the exposure of Trump's peace plan. The citizens of the State of Israel are fed up with barren policy initiatives over 25 years, all of which led to the backing of terrorism, more deaths, more threats and the strengthening of Hamas and Iranian terror on the Gaza border. All the concessions we made to date have not led anywhere."
