Giv'on HaHadasha

Giv'on HaHadashah (Hebrew: גִּבְעוֹן הַחֲדָשָׁה‎‎, lit. New Gibeon) is an Israeli communal settlement northwest of Jerusalem in the West Bank. It's located near Jerusalem's Ramot neighborhood and adjacent to Giv'at Ze'ev. This communal settlement receives its municipal services from the Matte Binyamin Regional Council. The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[1]

History

The settlement was originally established in 1895 by Yemenite Jews, but they left the location after a number of years. It was resettled in 1924, but its inhabitants fled as a result of the 1929 Palestine riots. It was resettled again in 1977 by members of Gush Emunim, and eventually absorbed many Jewish emigrants from the former Soviet Union, as well as many Sabras. Although it is mostly secular in character, it is also home to a few religiously observant families.[1]
