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]

It uses a strong cryptographic consensus protocol to safely replicate computations over a peer-to-peer network of (potentially untrusted) compute nodes, possibly overlayed with many virtual subnetworks (sometimes called shards). Wasm’s advantageous properties made it an obvious choice for representing programs running on this platform. We also liked the idea of not limiting developers to just one dedicated platform language, but making it potentially open to “all of ’em.”How is *that* meant to work?
