Beit El
Beit El () is an Israeli settlement located in Area C according to West Bank Areas in the Oslo II Accord. Israel established there a local council and attached the settlement to the Benjamin region of the central West Bank. The Orthodox Jewish town is located in the hills north of Jerusalem east of the Palestinian city of al-Bireh, adjacent to Ramallah. In September 1997, Beit El was awarded local council status. The head of the local council is Moshe Rosenbaum. As of January 2013, Beit El had a population of over 6,000 residents.
The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this. The Ulpana neighbourhood was evacuated when it emerged that it was built on private Palestinian land. The World Zionist Organization has halted land transactions in the Aleph neighbourhood of Beit El after it emerged that some 250 buildings there were constructed illegally, and fraud is suspected.〔
==Biblical history==
In the Hebrew Bible, Beit El (literally, "The House of God") was the site where Jacob slept and dreamt of the angels coming up and down a ladder (Genesis 28:19).〔"Bethel" in M. G. Easton, ''Illustrated Bible Dictionary'', T. Nelson and Sons, London, 1894〕
Some identify Beit El with the ruins surrounding the Palestinian village of Beitin and with hilltop site of Pisgat Ya'akov.
