Efrat
Efrat (), or previously officially Efrata (), is an Israeli settlement established in 1983 and a local council in the Judean Mountains of the West Bank. Efrat is located south of Jerusalem, between Bethlehem and Hebron, east of the Green line, inside of the Security Barrier.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Efrata )〕 The settlement rises to a height of above sea level and covers about 6,000 dunam (1,500 acres).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The city of Efrat )〕 The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.
Efrat, considered the capital of the Etzion Block,〔Jodi Rudoren, Jeremy Ashkenas,('Netanyahu and the Settlements,' ) New York Times 12 March 2015.〕 had 9,238 residents as of January 2013.〔http://www.moin.gov.il/Subjects/Bchirot/Documents/election-yosh.pdf〕 Although it is geographically located within Gush Etzion ("Etzion Bloc"), Efrat is independent from the Gush Etzion Regional Council, and Palestinians in negotiations do not consider it as part of that block, since it lies to the east of Route 60 — their side of the Geneva Initiative map.〔 Since November 2008, Oded Ravivi, an attorney and lieutenant colonel in the army and member of the Likud Central Committee is the head of Efrat regional council.
==Etymology==
Efrat is named after the biblical place Ephrath. While according to the Israeli Ministry of the Interior, "Efrata" is the quotation from the Biblical verse, and therefore the town's name, Efrata's residents and municipality have maintained for many years that the reference isn't the location's name, but rather means "towards Efrat". This has recently changed, with the residents and municipality convincing the ministry of the interior of the correct name. The '-a' ending is common in Hebrew and may indicate female grammatical gender or mean 'her' or less frequent 'towards'. On the other hand, there are very clear biblical references to "Ephratah", in a context it cannot possibly mean "towards Ephrat", e.g. , , , , .
Therefore, there were until recently two names in use: Internal and private references speak of "Efrat", whereas all inter-city roadsigns, under purview of the National Government, read "Efrata" (and still do, not having been updated in light of the recent change).
