The Jordan Valley (, ''Emek Hayarden''; (アラビア語:الغور), ''Al-Ghor or Al-Ghawr'') forms part of the larger Jordan Rift Valley. Unlike in the case of most river valleys, the term "Jordan Valley" commonly applies just to the lower course of the Jordan River, from the spot where it exits the Sea of Galilee in the north, to the end of its course where it flows into the Dead Sea in the south. This Rift Valley segment is long and wide. In a wider sense, the term may also cover the Dead Sea basin and the Wadi Arabah or Arava valley, which is the Rift Valley segment beyond the Dead Sea and ending at Aqaba/Eilat, farther south. Over most of its length, the Jordan Valley forms the border between Jordan to the east, and Israel and the West Bank to the west. The details are regulated by the Israel–Jordan peace treaty of 1994, which establishes an "administrative boundary" between Jordan and the West Bank, occupied by Israel in 1967, without prejudice to the status of that territory.〔 Israel has allocated 86% of the land to Israeli settlements.〔('Israel: Settlement Agriculture Harms Palestinian Children,' ) Human Rights Watch April 13, 2015 〕〔('Ripe for Abuse:Palestinian Child Labor in Israeli Agricultural Settlements in the West Bank,' ) Human Rights Watch 13 April 2015.〕 ==Geography== According to the definition used in this article, what is elsewhere sometimes termed the Upper Jordan Valley is not considered part of the Jordan Valley. The Upper Jordan Valley comprises the Jordan River sources and the course of the Jordan River through the Hula Valley and the volcanic Korazim block, both north of the Sea of Galilee. The northern part of the valley, known in Arabic as the ''Ghor'' (غور), includes the Jordan River segment south of the Sea of Galilee. Several degrees warmer than adjacent areas, its year-round agricultural climate, fertile soils and water supply have made the Ghor a key agricultural area.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan )〕 South of the Dead Sea, the Jordan Valley contains the hot, dry southern part of the valley known as ''Wadi 'Araba'', the "wilderness" or "Arabah desert" of the Bible.〔 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「Jordan Valley (Middle East)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
