Na'omi (Hebrew: נָעֳמִי‎) is an Israeli settlement organized as a moshav shitufi in the West Bank.[2] Located in the Jordan Valley three kilometres north of Hisham's Palace, it falls under the jurisdiction of Bik'at HaYarden Regional Council.[2] In 2019 it had a population of 165.

The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[3]

History[]

According to ARIJ, in 1979 Israel confiscated 5,048 dunams of land from the Palestinian village of An-Nuway'imah in order to construct Na'omi.[4]

Na'omi was established in 1982, and was initially named Na'ama[2] due to its proximity to the Palestinian village of an-Nuway'imah, before being renamed after the biblical figure of Naomi.[citation needed]
