Al-Jiftlik ((アラビア語:الجفتلك)) is a Palestinian village in the Jericho Governorate in the West Bank, located 33 kilometers north of Jericho. It is situated in the Jordan Valley, a few kilometers west of the Jordan River and the border with Jordan. Nearby Palestinian localities include az-Zubaidat to the northeast, Furush Beit Dajan to the northwest, Beit Furik to the west, Aqraba, Majdal Bani Fadil and Duma to the southwest and al-Fasayil to the south.〔 According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS), al-Jiftlik had a population of 3,546 in the 2007 census. The village's total area amounts to 185,032 dunams, of which 972 dunams are Palestinian built up areas, 77 are for commercial and industrial transport units, 64,032 are arable lands and 108,606 dunams are open spaces. Israeli settlements, including Massua, Hamra and Argaman and military bases account for 11,293 dunams.〔 The remaining land consists of forests and inland water.〔 ==History== The majority of the land in al-Jiftlik belonged to the al-Masa'id tribe, a powerful Bedouin family whose land spanned from Damia in Transjordan, on the east bank of the Jordan River, to the borders of Jericho in the West Bank. Most of its residents are descendants of the al-Masa'id tribe and immigrants from Tammun to the north.〔(Al Jiftlik Village Profile ). Applied Research Institute-Jerusalem (ARIJ). 2012.〕 The village's name is derived from the Turkish word ''chiflik'', the term for "land tenure" in the late Ottoman Empire which was applied in this as in many other Ottoman locations.〔 It received its name due to the agricultural nature of the village.〔 During the mandate period, there was a Tegart fort known as the Jiftlik Police Post just west of the present village. The West Bank was occupied by Israel during the Six-Day War in 1967 and in the aftermath of the conflict over 800 homes in al-Jiftlik were razed by the Israeli army and its 6,000 inhabitants were ordered to leave. Most of al-Jiftlik's inhabitants, however, returned to the village.〔Karmi, Ghada (1999). ''The Palestinian Exodus, 1948-1998''. University of London, Centre of Islamic and Middle Eastern Law. Garnet & Ithaca Press. p.90. ISBN 0-86372-244-X.〕 After the 1993 Oslo Accords between the Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), the village was designated as part of Area C. This makes it subject to full Israeli military and civil administration.〔 In 2005 a village council was established to administer local affairs. Its nine members are appointed by the Palestinian National Authority. The council maintains a permanent headquarters and owns a waste collection vehicle. Among its responsibilities are building water and electricity networks in al-Jiftlik and providing an ambulance for the village.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Al-Jiftlik」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
