The Barkan Industrial Park (Hebrew: איזור התעשיה ברקן, lit. Barkan Industrial Area) is located about 25 kilometres east of Tel Aviv in the West Bank. Its offices are located at the northern entrance. The industrial park is located adjacent to the Israeli settlement Barkan and near the settlement and city of Ariel.
A January 2016 report by Human Rights Watch called for companies to pull out from the West Bank since the study says that these companies, including Barkan Industrial Park, violate international law by harming the rights of the Palestinians.[1][2] However, others contend that the industrial zone is a major source of employment for Palestinian workers.[3][4]
The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[5][6][2]
