Immanuel, (Hebrew: עִמָּנוּאֵל, IPA: i.maˌnuˈel) also spelled Emmanuel or Emanuel, is an Israeli settlement organized as a local council located in the West Bank. Immanuel was established in 1983.[2] In 2022 it had a population of 4,656; its jurisdiction is spread out over 2,750 dunams (2.75 km2).
The international community considers Immanuel along with all other Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[3][4]
