Alei Zahav (Hebrew: <templatestyles src="Script/styles_hebrew.css" />עֲלֵי זָהָב, lit. Golden Leaves) is an Israeli settlement organized as a communal settlement located on the western edge of the northern West Bank, about 20 km east of Tel Aviv, and overlooking Israel's main Ben Gurion International Airport. The town, under the administrative municipal government of the Shomron Regional Council, is adjacent to Peduel and Beit Aryeh. In 2014 its population was 983.
Israeli outposts are unauthorized in Israeli law, while Israeli settlements are considered illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[2]
History
Founded in 1983 on territory Israel calls state lands by non-Orthodox Jewish Israelis from the Beitar and Herut movements, the settlement is now home to about 120 families. The town is named after Aliza Begin, the wife of former Israeli prime minister Menachem Begin. The original name of the town had been Yoezer.
It is now expanding into a settlement called Leshem.
