Gva'ot ( Hebrew גְּבָעוֹת, German hill ) is an Israeli settlement in the West Bank .

location

The settlement is located about 16 kilometers southwest of Jerusalem in the Gush Etzion settlement block and is home to 14 families (as of 2014). Officially, Gva'ot is a district of the settlement Allon Schewut , which is a few kilometers southeast, which is why Gva'ot is de facto a separate settlement.

history

Gva'ot was founded in 1984 as an outpost of the paramilitary Nachal and named after a sentence from the biblical story of Balaam . (According to words of the same verse also the neighboring kibbutz was Rosh Tzurim named.) According to the Palestinian NGO Applied Research Institute - Jerusalem (ARIJ) were for 135 dunams of land that the nearby village Nahalin belonged confiscated.

When the military withdrew in 1996, a yeshiva used the premises until 2003. After that, around 16 families moved into the premises.

In 1998 Gva'ot was declared a district of Allon Shevut.

On August 31, 2014, Israel declared 400 hectares of land that previously belonged to Palestinian villages in the area, "state land" ( state country ), that land that is not privately owned but managed by the State. With this decision a territorial connection between the settlement block Gush Etzion and the Israeli heartland is established.
