In March of 2018, Haaretz wrote about the Judea & Samaria Reception that coincided with the AIPAC Policy Conference in Washington DC: “Israeli Ministers Address Pro-settler Event on AIPAC Sidelines: 'Israel Can't Survive' Without Settlements” The Times of Israel added the following: “Joining senior Yesha and US officials at the session were Israeli ministers Naftali Bennett, Ayelet Shaked, Tzachi Hanegbi and Yuval Steinitz in addition to Likud MK Sharren Haskel and Israel’s consul general in New York Dani Dayan (a former Yesha chief himself). Over 400 people stuffed into a basement room at the historic Sixth and I Synagogue. Dozens more waited outside the building, unable to squeeze in. One after the other, the event’s twelve speakers took to the podium to reiterate — to rousing applause — the same message: That the West Bank is an inseparable part of Israel.”
