Kedumim (Hebrew: קְדוּמִים, romanized: Kdumim), is an Israeli settlement organized as a local council located in the northern West Bank. Founded on Hanukkah 1975 by members of the Gush Emunim settlement movement, it later became a local council. In 2022 it had a population of 4,548.
The consensus[2][3] of the international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law. The Israeli government disputes this.[4][2][3]
