The opening as it read in 2015
Kiryat Netafim ( , ) is a communal village and an Israeli settlement located in the northern West Bank , about 30 km east of Tel Aviv , and under the administrative municipal government of the Shomron Regional Council .1 The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law , but the Israeli government disputes this. The community was founded in June 1984, on Palestinian land from the villages of Qarawat Bani Hassan and Deir Istiya , by a group of Orthodox Yemenite Jews as another link in a chain of settlements built along the Trans-Samaria Highway and adjacent to the Barkan Industrial Park . Since then, Kiryat Netafim has lost its homogeneous nature while accepting families from many different backgrounds. In 2009 Peace Now petitioned the Israeli High Court, and laid a complaint against the then Defence Minister Ehud Barak , to order the demolition of 14 illegal structures built without authorization on public and private Palestinian land. The Defence ministry replied given approval to construction plans that would legalize the 14 structures. An interim inunction from the High Court on October 1 prohibited construction until the legal issues were settled. A further request was made on December 29 to find the settlers guilty of contempt for breaching the injunction to stop building. The state admitted the fact but requested the breach be ignored because the state had limited resources to regulate settlements and different priorities. In November 2014 Netafim began bulldozing and clearing further Qarawat Bani Hassan territory, under the protecting of IDF troops, in a measure apparently designed to extend the settlement. The community is located in the vicinity of several archaeological sites . Central Bureau of Statistics, Localities in Israel (Hebrew) , [1] "The Geneva Convention" .
