Ateret (Hebrew: עֲטֶרֶת, lit. Crown) is an Israeli settlement organized as a community settlement in the West Bank. Located in the municipal jurisdiction of the Mateh Binyamin Regional Council, it is located on a hilltop, at an elevation of 760 metres, occupying land confiscated by Israel from three nearby Palestinian villages: Ajjul,[2] 'Atara,[3] and Umm Safa.[4] In 2022 it had a population of 891.
The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[5][6][7]
