Against the backdrop of criticism aimed at the Trump administration, Oded Revivi, Mayor of Efrat, stated: "In my many meetings with government representatives, I have found loyal friends to Israel. I have met leaders who recognize the importance of Israel as a Jewish state."

"During our long conversations, all the delegates emphasized the need to strengthen Israel's power and the need to secure the future of Jewish settlement in Judea and Samaria."

"There has never been a government that has been so sympathetic to the State of Israel and the settlement movement."
