YESHA Council in Washington DC

The YESHA Council is consistently asked to travel
abroad and represent the Jewish communities of Judea & Samaria. A typical example was Dani Dayan's recent
trip to Washington, DC where he met with elected officials in Congress, think-tanks,
pro-Israel activist organizations and of course, the media.

However, the trip itself was identified by Israel's
left-wing paper of choice, Haaretz, as a trailblazing effort by the YESHA
community to penetrate DC to unprecedented levels. The US-based media was also interested as
evidenced by an interview with Dani in the left-wing Salon and another describing the trip and the
YESHA Council's overall efforts in the Free Beacon. Dani's
meeting at the Council on Foreign Relations was attended by a wide spectrum of
foreign policy experts and influential pundit, including representatives from
the Jordanian government and others who were more hostile to the YESHA
Council's approach to peaceful co-existence, including the following blog in PeaceFare.
It is good to see Congressman Trent Franks here. He is a very strong supporter of Israel. He has attended several Christians United For Israel (CUFI) banquets in Washington D.C.
