Template:Infobox Palestinian Authority municipality Al-Funduq (Arabic: الفندق) was a Palestinian village in the Qalqilya Governorate in the northeastern West Bank, located east of Qalqilya.[1] According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics, the village had a population of approximately 659 inhabitants in mid-year 2006.[2]

In 2012 it was decided that Jinsafut and Al-Funduq should be merged under one local council.[3]

Location

Al-Funduq and Jinsafut are located 16 kilometers (9.9 mi) east of Qalqiliya. It is bordered by Immatin to the east, Deir Istiya to the south, Wadi Qana (in Salfit Governorate) to the west and Hajja to the north.[3]

History

Ceramics from the Byzantine era have been found here,[4] and it has been suggested that this was the place Fondeka, once inhabited by Samaritans.[5][6]

During the Crusader era the village was the home of Muslims, according to Diya al-Din al-Maqdisi. A Hanbali scholar named Ahmad Ibn Abd al-Daim al Maqaddasi al-Hanbali was born in the village in 575/1180, dying in 668/March 1270 CE.[7][8] Followers of Ibn Qudamah also lived in the village,[9] and during this period Al-Funduq had a well-known Muslim Sheikh named Abd Allah.[10][11]

Ottoman era

The place appeared in 1596 Ottoman tax registers as Funduq, being in the Nahiya of Bani Sa'b of the Liwa of Nablus. It had a population of 86 households, all Muslim. They paid a fixed tax-rate of 33,3 % on agricultural products, including wheat, barley, summer crops, olives, goats and beehives, and a press for olives or grapes, in addition to occasional revenues and a fixed sum for people of the Nablus area; a total of 10,500 akçe.[12]

A map from Napoleon's invasion of 1799 by Pierre Jacotin named it Foundouk, as a village by the road from Jaffa to Nablus.[13]

In 1838, Robinson noted el-Funduk as a village in Beni Sa'ab district, west of Nablus.[14]

In 1870 Victor Guérin noted El-Fondouk from Fara'ata, but did not visit it.[15]

In 1882, the Palestine Exploration Fund's Survey of Western Palestine described the village as "a small poor village by the main road, with wells to the north and two sacred places; it stands on high ground," and located in the Beni Sab district.[6]

British Mandate era

In the 1922 census of Palestine conducted by the British Mandate authorities, Funduq had a population of 66 inhabitants, all Muslims,[16] increasing in the 1931 census to 72 Muslims, with 21 houses.[17]

In the 1945 census El Funduq had a population was 100 Muslims,[18] with 1,619 dunams of land, according to an official land and population survey.[19] Of this, 43 dunams were for plantations or irrigated land, 1,026 for cereals,[20] while 14 dunams were built-up land.[21]

Jordanian era

In the wake of the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, and after the 1949 Armistice Agreements, Al-Funduq came under Jordanian rule.

The Jordanian census of 1961 found 137 inhabitants in Al-Funduq.[22]

1967-present

Since the Six-Day War in 1967, Al-Funduq has been under Israeli occupation. After the 1995 accords, 4.8% of Jinsafut and Al-Funduq land was defined as Area B land, while the remaining 95.2% is Area C.[23]
