The Yesha Council (Template:Lang-he, Mo'etzet Yesha, which is the Hebrew acronym for Yehuda Shomron, Aza, lit. "Judea Samaria and Gaza Council") is an umbrella organization of municipal councils of Jewish settlements in the West Bank (and formerly in the Gaza Strip), known by the Hebrew acronym Yesha.
History
The council was founded in the 1970s as the successor to Gush Emunim ("Bloc of the Faithful"), an organization formed to promote Jewish settlement in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, which they regarded as the return of Jews to their Biblical homeland.
Board Members
The Yesha Council consists of 24 democratically elected mayors and ten community leaders, representing municipalities with a combined population of around half a million. Its mandate is to assist Jewish settlements in every possible way. The council works to improve security by, for instance, arranging the acquisition of bullet-proof ambulances and buses. The council works with the Israeli government to provide roads, electricity, and water. The executive meets once in three weeks and conducts the council’s affairs. Until the implementation of the disengagement plan in 2005, the mayors of the authorities in the Gaza Strip were also members of Yesha Council. The chair of Yesha Council is elected in democratic elections by the members of the executive.
Since its inception, Yesha Council was funded in part by membership fees paid by the local authorities that are members in it. In 2004, Peace Now petitioned the Israeli Supreme Court against the use of the budgets of the local councils to fund the activities of Yesha Council to oppose the disengagement plan. The High Court of Justice issued an interim injunction prohibiting the transfer of funds from the authorities, but in 2006, it ultimately ruled that the transfer of funds is legal, and that Yesha Council’s main source of funding comes from the membership dues paid by the local authorities.
The Chairman of the Yesha Council is David Elhayani, elected in November 2019. Elhayani is the Head of Bik'at HaYarden Regional Council and resident of Argaman. The CEO of the Yesha Council is Yigal Dilmoni, appointed in 2019, who previously served as deputy director of public relations.
The Department of Media and Public Diplomacy
Yesha Council’s Department of Media and Public Diplomacy addresses all matters related to the media and public relations of Yesha Council, prepares and distributes information newsletters, leads various campaigns and initiatives on behalf of the communities, is responsible for Yesha Council’s social media coverage and holds tours and lectures for opinion leaders in Israel and the world. Dorit Ostrovsky Schechter heads the department.
Foreign Relations Desk and Eastern European Desk
In 1992, Yesha Council established its Foreign Relations Desk (formerly Overseas Desk), headed by Yechiel Leiter until 1996. In 2013, the desk’s activities were resumed, headed by Dani Dayan until 2015. In 2016-2020, the desk was headed by Efrat Mayor Oded Revivi.
The Foreign Relations Desk deals mainly with international public diplomacy, hosting delegations and VIPs from abroad, writing articles and appearing in the international media. It participates in international conferences and gives lectures to decision-makers abroad.
In 2019, Yesha Council established an Eastern European desk, which focuses on Russian-speaking Israelis, with the aim of bringing them to visit in Judea and Samaria and bridge the gaps we have identified between Israel’s Russian-speaking population and the Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria. The desk is involved in Russian-language public diplomacy, tourism and the training of tour guides, holding conferences on the subject of Judea and Samaria and advertising in the Russian-language media in Israel. It has even launched an official Russian-language Yesha Council website. The desk is currently headed by Gush Etzion Regional Council chair Shlomo Ne’eman.
Campaigns
As the umbrella organization for the local authorities in Judea and Samaria and the Jordan Valley, the Yesha Council attends to issues that impact all the Jewish communities in a variety of areas such as law, policy, media, and infrastructure.
As a rule, the Yesha Council advocates collaborative activity with the national leadership to promote the welfare of the Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria and the Jordan Valley, and expresses its opposition to government decisions that could harm this enterprise. Its resettlement policy was criticised by the Sason Report.
In 2005 the Yeshiva Council led the protest campaign against the disengagement plan with peaceful mass protests: the human chain of 130,000, the Kfar Maimon marh of 50,000, the Kotel rally of 70,000, and the Tel Aviv rally of 200,000. The council was praised for refraining from the use of violence and criticized by those against the disengagement for failing to prevent it.
In 2013, a book was published entitled Judea and Samaria: It's Jewish, It's Vital, It's Realistic. It was printed as a special edition for the visit of US President Barack Obama to Israel.
In 2016, the Yesha Council launched a campaign to apply Israeli law to the city of Maaleh Adumim presenting a survey it conducted showing that 78% of Israel’s Jewish population favored such a move.
In 2017, the Yesha Council advocated to improve neglected transportation infrastructure. As a result, a budget was approved for the planning and construction of a number of roads, including the Hawara bypass road; the Al-Arub bypass road (Lev Yehuda Highway); the upgrading and widening of Highway 55 from Highway 6 to Highway 60; a new and elaborate Jerusalem-Kalandia entry road; the widening of Highway 437 in the area of the Hizme crossing and Highway 375 from Tzur Hadassah to the Hussan junction; the widening and adding of a public transportation lane on Highway 446 Shilat-Modiin and on Highway 505 Ariel-Tapuah Junction and more.
In 2018, the Yesha Council published a report critical of the Temporary International Presence in Hebron (TIPH), which served as an international observer force. The report, which accused TIPH of creating an anti-Israel atmosphere was part of the Israeli government's decision not to renew the mandate for TIPH.
In 2020, the Yesha Council opposed US President Donald Trump's "Plan of the Century."
In 2021 members of the Yesha Council met with Arab Muslims in Hebron for a kosher iftar ceremony and spoke to joint business ventures between Palestinian Authority entrepreneurs and Israelis.
Rejection of Violence
The council chairman Dani Dayan said that settlers must not use violence to advance their means. He said that such actions were "morally bankrupt" and only serve to "hinder the settlers' struggle."
Misplaced Pages editing course

On 3 August 2010, it was reported that the Yesha Council together with My Israel, a network of online pro-Israel activists committed to spreading Zionism online, were organizing people at a workshop in Jerusalem to teach them how to edit Misplaced Pages articles in a pro-Israeli way. Around 50 people took part in the course.
"We don't want to change Misplaced Pages or turn it into a propaganda arm," commented Naftali Bennett, director of the Yesha Council. "We just want to show the other side. People think that Israelis are mean, evil people who only want to hurt Arabs all day." "The idea is not to make Misplaced Pages rightist but for it to include our point of view," he said in another interview.
The project organiser, Ayelet Shaked was interviewed on Arutz Sheva Radio. She emphasized that the information has to be reliable and meet Misplaced Pages rules. She cited some examples such as the use of the term "occupation" in Misplaced Pages entries, as well as in the editing of entries that link Israel with Judea and Samaria and Jewish history.
A course participant explained that the course is not a "Zionist conspiracy to take over Misplaced Pages"; rather, it is an attempt to balance information about disputed issues presented in the online encyclopedia.
he goal of this workshop was to train a number of pro-Israelis how to edit Misplaced Pages so that more people could present the Israeli side of things, and thus the content would be more balanced... Misplaced Pages is meant to be a fair and balanced source, and it is that way by having people from all across the spectrum contributing to the content.
Another participant was not positive about the publication of the initiative, warning that going public in past occasions has had a bad effect, and recommending that the initiative would be better taken underground.
Following the course announcement, the head of Palestinian Journalists Syndicate said there were plans to set up a counter group to ensure the Palestinian view is presented online as the "next regional war will be media war."
In 2011, Misplaced Pages co-founder Jimmy Wales stated in retrospect about the course organized by Israel Sheli, "we saw absolutely no impact from that effort whatsoever. I don't think it ever – it was in the press but we never saw any impact." Wales, who himself is a supporter of Israel, insists on neutrality when editing articles related to Israel and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. At a speech at Tel Aviv University when accepting his Dan David Prize in May 2015, Wales insisted to avoid conflicts of interest is to provide as many facts as possible while maintaining neutrality, aiming to overwhelm any chance of bias and imbuing political ideology. Wales also stated that editors have to present what all sides have said and ultimately leave it to the reader to make their own judgments and have their own opinions regarding the conflict.
