Nofei Nehemia (Template:Langx) is an Israeli outpost in the West Bank, in the jurisdiction of the Shomron Regional Council in the northern West Bank. It is officially within the boundaries of Rehelim, a nearby Israeli settlement.[1] First established in 2002, it is situated adjacent to Rechelim on Route 60, between Kfar Tapuach and Eli.[2] The village also lies adjacent to the Palestinian towns of Iskaka and Yasuf. A few dozen families live on the village.
Israeli outposts are illegal under international law and also under Israeli law.[2][3]
History
The village is named after Nehemia Ben Yehuda, the head of a family who owns a crane company who have been very involved in assisting the establishment of settlements in the West Bank.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
The village was established in 2002 as an illegal outpost. In 2003, the Israeli government pledged to dismantle the village.[3]
In January 2021, under Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli government decided to legalize the illegal outpost of Nofei Nehemia by reclassifying it as a “neighborhood” of the Rehelim settlement, which itself was an illegal outpost that was legalized a few years prior.[4]
