Ma'alot Dafna ((ヘブライ語:מעלות דפנה)) is an Israeli settlement〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Settlements in East Jerusalem )〕 and neighborhood in East Jerusalem.〔 It borders the neighborhood of Shmuel HaNavi to the west, Ammunition Hill to the east, Ramat Eshkol to the north and Arzei HaBira to the south. The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this. ==History== Ma'alot Dafna was established in 1972 on the hillside through which Israeli troops in the Six Day War made their way from the Israeli neighborhood of Shmuel HaNavi to fight the Arab Legion troops at the Battle of Ammunition Hill. Its name, translated to "Bay Laurel Heights", commemorates Israel's victory in that war, the Bay laurel being a symbol of victory. The name Ma'alot Dafna also refers to the ''ma'alot'' (Hebrew for "steps") up to the ''dafna'' (Hebrew for overlapping rose petals), referring to the layered hills and the stepped approach to it.〔Ehrenpreis Meyer, Yael. "I Found My Place In... Strength of unity in Anglo-sub communities". ''Binah'' Magazine, 9 May 2011, p. 41.〕〔http://www.jerusalem.muni.il/en/SitesMuni/Sites/Neighborhood/Pages/PageSite_2270.aspx〕 The neighborhood includes a sub-neighborhood called Arzei HaBira (Cedars of the Capitol), which was built on territory on the Israeli side of the armistice line before the war. Arzei HaBira is now considered a separate neighborhood, with more than 200 families. The rest of Ma’alot Dafna was built on territory that had been either no man's land or land used by the Jordanian military. Ma'alot Dafna was built as part of the sequence of Jewish neighborhoods called the ''bariah'' or "hinge" neighborhoods〔דוד קרויאנקר, ירושלים - המאבק על מבנה העיר וחזותה, ביתן זמורה 1988. Yerushalayim: Ha-maavak al mivneh ha-ir ve-hazutah (Hebrew Edition) by David Kroyanker (1988) (סיור לאורך "הקו העירוני", אילן שפירא )〕 connecting West Jerusalem to Mount Scopus. On July 1967, Prime Minister Levi Eshkol gave a clerk named Yehuda Tamir unusual authority to overlook governmental building license policy in order to speed up the establishment of the "hinge" neighborhoods (Ma’alot Dafna, Ramat Eshkol, Givat HaMivtar, and French Hill).〔 The neighborhood was designed so that it could serve the adjacent neighborhood of Shmuel HaNavi, a poorly designed and problematic lower-class neighborhood, which until the Six Day War faced a large enemy fort.〔(About Shmuel Hanavi )〕 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「Ma'alot Dafna」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
