The international community considers all Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, which the Israeli government disputes.[2]

History

Amihai is one of the few Israeli settlements to be founded in the 21st century. Authorization for Amihai was given by the Israeli government as a result of a deal with residents of Amona, who were evacuated from their homes following a 2014 Israeli Supreme Court ruling.[3] Amona's residents asked to be moved to a hill near the Geulat Zion outpost, east of Shilo.

Construction in Amihai began in June 2017. Temporary homes were installed in February 2018,[4] and the first families moved in March 2018.

Future plans

There is a plan to expand Amihai both west and east, and to include Adei Ad in its jurisdiction, thereby legalizing the outpost.[5]
