Giv'on HaHadashah (Template:Langx) is an Israel settlement in the West Bank, built over land expropriated from the neighboring Palestinian villages of Biddu,[1] Beit Ijza,[2] and Al Jib.[3] It falls under the jurisdiction of Mateh Binyamin Regional Council. In Template:Israel populations it had a population of Template:Israel populations.

The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[4]

History

The settlement was originally established in 1895 by Yemenite Jews, but they left the location after a number of years. It was named after the biblical Gibeon, in Hebrew Giv'on (Joshua 10:10-12), situated nearby.[5] The village 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 the Israeli government eventually confiscated land from three nearby Palestinian villages in order to construct Giv'on HaHadasha roughly where the original Yemenite settlement's lands had been occupied:

The community eventually absorbed many Jewish emigrants from the former Soviet Union, as well as many Israeli-born Jews. Although it is mostly secular in character, it is also home to a few religiously observant families.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
