Almog (Template:Langx, lit. Coral) is an Israeli settlement in the West Bank, near the northwestern shores of the Dead Sea, in the Jordan Rift Valley, organized as a kibbutz. It is under the jurisdiction of the Megilot Regional Council. In Template:Israel populations its population was Template:Israel populations. The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[1]
History
According to ARIJ, in 1977 Israel confiscated 524 dunams of land from the Palestinian site of Nabi Musa in order to construct Almog.[2]
Initially established as a Nahal settlement in 1977, Almog became a kibbutz in 1979. It was named after Yehuda Kopolevitz Almog, a Third Aliyah pioneer who founded the potash mining industry which developed into the Dead Sea Works in Sodom.[3] In the 1930s, Almog was one of the founders of the nearby kibbutz Beit HaArava.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
Economy
The kibbutz runs a guesthouse and spa. On the grounds of the kibbutz is a small museum displaying copies of the scrolls found in Qumran. The kibbutz grows a variety of experimental crops for export.[4]
