Kedumim (), also Qedumim, is an Israeli settlement and a town located in the Samarian hills of the West Bank. Kedumim was founded on Hanukkah 1975 by members of the Gush Emunim settlement movement. Since then, it has achieved local council status and has a population of 4,219.〔http://www.moin.gov.il/Subjects/Bchirot/Documents/election-yosh.pdf〕 The mayor is Hananel Dorani. The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.〔(Daniella Weiss: 62, mayor of the Jewish settlement of Kedumim, near Nablus, in the West Bank ) The Guardian, 4 June 2007〕〔(Mass arrests create new foes for Israel ) The Guardian. 15 March 2002〕 ==History== In late 1974, a group affiliated with Gush Emunim named Garin Elon Moreh, led by Rabbi Menachem Felix and Benny Katzover, attempted to establish a settlement on the ruins of the Sebastia train station dating from the Ottoman period. An Israeli cabinet resolution, passed 17–2 with 3 abstentions, found the settlement illegal in 1975.〔 After several attempts to remove residents from the site by the Israel Defense Forces, an agreement was reached in which 25 families were permitted to settle in Kadum, an army camp southwest of Nablus. The small mobile home site developed into the town of Kedumim. The Sebastia agreement was a turning point that opened up the northern West Bank to Jewish settlement. From 1977 on, the government of Menachim Begin strongly backed settlement at Kedumim. Begin visited on May 19 and declared "We stand on the land of liberated Israel." In July, his government granted full legal status to Kedumim (then numbering around 100 settlers), Ofra, and Maaleh Adumim.〔 Several residents of Kedumim have been killed in Palestinian political violence. Rabbi Binyamin Herling (64), a Holocaust survivor, was killed at Mount Ebal by Palestinian security forces and Fatah members who opened fire on a group of men, women, and children.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Victims of Palestinian Violence and Terrorism since September 2000 )〕 On May 30, 2006, a suicide bomber disguised as an Orthodox Jewish hitchhiker blew himself up inside a car that stopped to pick him up near the gas station at the entrance to the village.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Suicide bomber strikes in Kedumim )〕 The blast killed four Israelis - Rafi Halevy (63),〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rafi Halevy )〕 Helena Halevy (58),〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Helena Halevy )〕 Re'ut Feldman (20),〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Re'ut Feldman )〕 and Shaked Lasker (16).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Shaked Lasker )〕 Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades claimed responsibility. On November 19, 2007, Ido Zoldan (29) was killed in a shooting attack near Kedumim when Palestinian militiants opened fire on his car.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ido Zoldan )〕 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「Kedumim」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
