Giv'ot Olam

1

Giv'ot Olam is an Israeli outpost in the northern West Bank. Located 4.5 kilometres south-east of Itamar, it falls under the jurisdiction of Shomron Regional Council.

History

Giv'ot Olam was established in late 1998 by Avri Ran, a right wing activist and organic farmer who raises free-range chickens and sells their eggs on the organic food market. The name derives from Moses' Biblical blessing for Joseph: "with the fruitfulness of the hills of eternity." (Deuteronomy 33:15) The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.
