Masua (Hebrew: מַשּׂוּאָה, lit. Torch, Arabic: مسواه), also transliterated as Massu'a, is an Israeli settlement organized as a moshav shitufi in the West Bank.[2] Located in the Jordan Valley, with an area of 6,000 dunams, it falls under the jurisdiction of Bik'at HaYarden Regional Council.[2] In 2022 it had a population of 297.
The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli and US governments dispute this.[3]
