Jewish settlement
Promised Land homestead
A Jewish settlement is a community established by Jewish residents, particularly in contested territories.
The term most often refers to Israeli communities built in the West Bank, Gaza Strip, or East Jerusalem after 1967—areas Palestinians claim for a future state.
These settlements are central to Israeli-Palestinian conflict debates: The expansion of Jewish settlements has stalled peace negotiations.
Critics consider them illegal under international law; supporters cite historical and religious claims to the land.
