Gilgal (Hebrew: גִּלְגָּל) is an Israeli settlement organized as a kibbutz in the West Bank.[2] Located in the Jordan Valley around 16 kilometres north of Jericho with an area of 1,400 dunams, it falls under the jurisdiction of Bik'at HaYarden Regional Council.[3] In 2022 it had a population of 229.
The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[4]
