View of Ramat Shlomo

Ramat Shlomo (Hebrew: רמת שלמה, lit. Shlomo's or Solomon's Heights) is an Israeli settlement in East Jerusalem.[1][2] The population, mostly ultra-Orthodox, is 21,000.[3]

Ramat Shlomo was built on land occupied by Israel since its capture from Jordan in the 1967 Six-Day War and is considered by the international community to be an Israeli settlement.[4][5][6] The international community considers Israeli settlements in East Jerusalem illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[7]
