The head of the Yesha Council, David Elhayeni, sharply criticized Trump over the proposal to establish a Palestinian state. "A true friend of Israel does not lend a hand in establishing a terrorist state," he said at the time, flooding disputes among Soviet heads. Even when Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu intended to apply The sovereignty over the Jordan Valley and the annexation of some of the settlements are among the heads of the Yesha Council who openly supported the move, and those who opposed the claim that it was part of the Trump outline.

Now, with Biden's election to the presidency, Elhayeni welcomes Trump's departure and believes that the stigma that Democrats are less good for Israel should not be established.

"I do not think we have lost a true friend of the State of Israel, he is not such a great loss," he says.

"I'm not sure that Aidan is less good for Israel. It's a mistake for Israelis to come and say that Democrats are our enemies - it's good that Trump went."

Elhayani adds that "Trump was the first president to draw the borders of a Palestinian state, he gave 70% of Judea and Samaria territory, and whoever supports it - is not a friend to me. All the things Trump did were from the thought of 'how does this serve Trump?' ".

He cites the normalization agreement between Israel and Sudan as an example, explaining: "He pulled them from the list of pro-terrorism countries, and then wanted to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. He is an unexpected man and we experienced it firsthand. Now the threat of establishing a Palestinian terrorist state The table. "

"It is not certain that he is less good for Israel."

"It does not matter who the president of the United States is, everyone was friends. What matters is how our prime minister behaves. Whoever can apply sovereignty - it is only the Israeli government and its leader," he says.

"There have always been disagreements here and there, but in the test of the result - in the era of Barack Obama which is considered bad - there were bigger construction starts in the settlements, and the demographic growth was also great."

The head of the Yesha Council claims that "it is not correct to say emphatically that the Republicans love Israel more." The

head of the Yesha Council adds that "during the Trump era, anti-Semitism raised its head and we, as Jews, kept silent. And why did we keep silent? Is that the price? And what did we get from the relocation of the embassy? The international community recognized it? No. "

The head of the Southern Hebron Mountain Council, Yochai Damari, actually praises Trump's contribution to Israel in general, and to Judea and Samaria in particular.

"There is no doubt that in terms of the settlement interests and desires of the State of Israel as a whole - Trump has led unparalleled achievements here: the recognition of the Golan Heights, the relocation of the embassy to Jerusalem, peace with the United Arab Emirates, sanctions on Iran," he says.

"All of these things teach one thing. Let's see who is happy today and who is less. If Iran is happy - then we have something to worry about."

Damari added that he was apprehensive about the new policy being pursued in the United States.

"We will be more challenged on the front lines of the Gaza Strip, Iran and the Palestinian front," he claims.

"It's no secret that the number of casualties and attacks in Trump's time was smaller than in Obama's. There was a very clear statement. I very much hope the spirit of Trump's policy will continue. We must not constantly be afraid of a construction freeze."

According to Damari, the real problem is actually Biden's deputy, Kamla Harris.

"The biggest concern is not from the president-elect, but rather from the staff around him - and especially from the vice president," he says.

"When I read an interview with Harris who says she will work to bring the Palestinian delegation back to Washington and stop construction in Judea and Samaria - it bothers me."
