Kedar, Gush Etzion
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kedar (Hebrew: קֵדָר) is a religiously observant, rural Communal settlement and Israeli settlement in the West Bank administrated by the Gush Etzion Regional Council. It was established in 1984[1] by families linked to the Betar movement. The community has a mix of secular and religious Jews. Residents run various businesses, and around 153 families live in the settlement.
The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[2]
