French Hill
French Hill ((ヘブライ語:הגבעה הצרפתית), ''HaGiv'a HaTzarfatit'', (アラビア語:التلة الفرنسية), ''at-tel al-faransiya''), also Giv'at Shapira () is a neighborhood and Israeli settlement〔http://peacenow.org.il/eng/content/abusing-jerusalem-assail-peace-case-shepherds-hotel〕 in northern East Jerusalem. It is located on territory that has been occupied since the Six-Day War in 1967 and later unilaterally annexed by Israel under the Jerusalem Law in 1980 in a move not recognized internationally. The international community considers Israeli settlements in East Jerusalem, such as French Hill, illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.
==Etymology==
The source of the name French Hill is unclear. According to local legend, it was named after a British general, John French, 1st Earl of Ypres who is said to have had his headquarters on this hill. According to this legend there was a mistake with the translation to Hebrew that named the place after the country France (in Hebrew: Tzarfat). However, French never served in this region.〔(), ()〕 According to Israeli geographer Zev Vilnay, the land belonged to the Catholic Monastery of St. Anne, whose monks hailed mainly from France.〔''The Guide to Israel'' Zev Vilnay, Hamakor Press, Jerusalem, 1972, p.130〕 If the neighborhood had been named for General French, the correct name in Hebrew would have been ''Giv'at French''.〔(BBC - h2g2 - French Hill, Jerusalem )〕
