| Region | West Bank |
Neveh Erez (Hebrew: נווה ארז, lit. Erez Home), also known as Mitzpe Erez (Hebrew: מצפה ארז, lit. Erez Lookout), is an Israeli settlement outpost in the West Bank. Located near Ma'ale Mikhmas, it falls under the jurisdiction of Mateh Binyamin Regional Council. It is home to around 8 families.
The outpost was established in 1999, but was vacated several times before being made permanent in 2001. It was named after Erez Gerstein[1], an IDF commander killed in Lebanon.
The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[2]
