Ramat Eshkol () (also Ramot Eshkol Hebrew: רמות אשכול) is an Israeli settlement and neighborhood in northern East Jerusalem.[1] It was built on land captured from Jordan in the Six-Day War and occupied by Israel since 1967, and was the first settlement built in East Jerusalem beyond the Green Line by Israel.[2] The international community considers Israeli settlements in East Jerusalem illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[3] As of 2017, about 8,975 people live in the neighborhood.
