Giv'at Ze'ev () is an Israeli settlement 〔('An Israeli settlement in close-up,' ) BBC News, 22 September, 2009.〕 in the West Bank five kilometers northwest of Jerusalem. While it lies within the borders of the Matte Binyamin Regional Council, it is a separate municipal entity. It is one of the larger Israeli settlements in the West Bank with an estimated population of over 14,000. The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law,〔('An Israeli settlement in close-up,' ) BBC News, 22 September, 2009:'Built, like all settlements, in defiance of international law on land captured in 1967, its location is strategically important, south of Israel's Highway 443 cutting into the West Bank for 20km to connect Tel Aviv with Jerusalem.'〕 but the Israeli government disputes this. ==Description== Giv'at Ze'ev, named after Ze'ev Jabotinsky, was founded in 1982 on confiscated Palestinian land and was declared a local council in 1984. Palestinians contend that under the expropriation maps contained in military orders, the road connecting it to Jerusalem, though ostensibly designed to "facilitate Palestinian movement", actually would confiscate 15 square kilometres of prime agricultural land, on which the livelihoods of 24,000 Palestinians depend in order to enable the programmed development of this settlement bloc.〔Deborah Cowen,Emily Gilbert (eds.) (''War, Citizenship, Territory,'' ) Routledge, 2008 p.277.〕 One local Palestinian landowner protesting the land confiscations occupied his plot nearby and refused to be intimidated by settlers shooting in the air. He was eventually scooped up by the blade of a bulldozer and removed.〔Raja Shehadeh, ''Strangers in the House,'' Profile Books 2010 p.201 〕 In 1996 a program of expansion with new housing units and an envisaged 20,000 new settlers was approved, to be constructed on land confiscated from the Palestinian villages of Beitunia, Biddo, and Jib, in what Palestinians call Wadi Salman, but which the Israelis have renamed Ha'ayalot valley〔 Twice in successive years further areas amounting to 250 acres were confiscated from Beitunia and Jib to build an additional 11,550 units.〔Cheryl Rubenberg,''The Palestinians: In Search of a Just Peace,''Lynne Rienner Publishers 2003 p.222〕 On March 9, 2008, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert approved the construction of 750 new homes in Giv'at Ze'ev under the Agan Ha'ayalot project. This approval stands in contrast to Olmert's policy of freezing new permits for expansion within existing settlements. Olmert argued that the project was first approved in 1999, but stopped in 2000, as a result of the Second Intifada. The approval was criticized by the Palestinian Authority, US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, and the European Union. On the political right, the Shas party took credit for pressuring Olmert to approve the project. Giv'at Ze'ev is one of five settlement "blocs" that, according to the Jewish Virtual Library, "()ost Israelis believe [] should become part of Israel when final borders are drawn"〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/talking/40_consensus.html )〕 and "both Prime Minister Sharon in 2005 and Prime Minister Benjamin Neyantahu in 2010 have repeatedly said the large settlement blocs will “remain in our hands.”"〔 Both the Ayelet HaShahar synagogue and yeshiva built on private Palestinian land owned by the Allatif family of the nearby Palestinian township of Jib, are slated to be demolished by March 2014, after the prosecutor's office determined that the putative documents of land purchase were forgeries.〔 Chaim Levinson, [http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/.premium-1.544999 'Israel pledges to raze settler structures built on Palestinian land with forged deeds,'] at Haaretz, 3 September 2013.〕 Giv'at Ze'ev has four elementary schools and one junior high school. There are two youth movement branches: the Israeli Scouts (Arava tribe) and Bnei Akiva. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Giv'at Ze'ev」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
