| Ma'ale Adummim | | | | Hebrew | מעלה אדומים | | Name Meaning | Red Ascent | | Founded in | 1976 | | Government | City (from 1991) | | District | Judea and Samaria Area | | Population | 33,259 (2006) | | Jurisdiction | 50,000 dunams (50 km²) | | Mayor | Benny Kashriel | Ma'ale Adummim (Hebrew: מעלה אדומים; unofficially also spelled Maale Adumim) is an Israeli settlement in the Judea region of the occupied West Bank, east of Jerusalem. It is located within the geographic area of the Gush Etzion Regional Council, though as a city it is independent of its jurisdiction. Established in 1976, it is now sometimes considered by Israel to be a suburb of Jerusalem, because of its proximity to Jerusalem and because most of its population works in Jerusalem. Prior to the settlement's establishment on barren hilltops outside Jerusalem, the land upon which the it was built was vacant land declared "State Land" by both the Ottoman Empire and then the Kingdom of Jordan. It was occupied by Israel during the 1967 Six-Day War. Once the settlement was established on "State Land", it was declared a "city" in 1991. The municipal borders are about 50 square kilometres (19 square miles) in size. According to the Israel Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), in 2006 the settlement had a total population of 31,400.[1] Image File history File linksMetadata Download high-resolution version (1280x960, 434 KB) Summary Photo: Soman Location: Maale Adumim, Palestine Licensing File links The following pages on the English Wikipedia link to this file (pages on other projects are not listed): West Bank Maale Adummim Metadata This file contains...

Ma'ale Adummim is the second largest Israeli settlement in the West Bank, after Modi'in Illit.[2] The settlement's planning scheme, which was finalized in 1983, sets Ma'ale Adummim's borders to an area of approximately 35 km². Of these, only 3.7 km² have been built so far, representing the settlements of Ma'ale Adummim, Mishor Adumim, Kfar Adumim, and Allon.[3] Ma'ale Adumim is governed by an elected mayor and city council. The current mayor is Benny Kashriel, recently elected to a third term by a large majority of the population. Modiin Illit () is an Israeli settlement in Samaria (Northern West Bank). ...

Controversies
Copyright Applied Research Institute of Jerusalem The area known as Ma'ale Adummim was originally state owned land, under the Turks during the Ottoman Empire rule and then under Jordan prior to the 1967 Six-Day War. When Israel conquered the area, Israel took over the land between Jerusalem and the Jordan River, including the land on which Ma'ale Adummim was built. This land was then declared "State Land" by the Israeli government, as it had been under the Jordanians and the Turks. Despite claims of ownership by the Palestinian residents of refugee camp Abu-Dies, both the Jordanians and the Israelis dismissed these accusations as false and continued to recognize the land as state-owned. Starting from 1982, the Jahalin Bedouin who had been living on the outskirts of the city were ordered and sometimes physically transferred to another site, which however was declared unfit for human habitation by Israeli environmentalists.[3] In 2005, the Israeli army found weapons and a terrorist cell hidden among the surrounding Bedouin camps, further complicating the situation.[citation needed] In some cases, the Bedouin have encroached on city owned land, forcing the Israeli army to remove them back to their original camps. In 2006, a series of robberies and break-ins were attributed to Bedouins that had illegally entered the city. However, other Bedouins are able to legally enter the city and work each day, receive medical care, etc. The Ma'ale Adumim Magen David Adom ambulance squad is responsible for covering the area between the edge of Jerusalem to the Dead Sea, and its crews often treat Palestinian Arab and Bedouin injured and sick patients.

Geographic significance
Map of the projected expansion of Ma'ale Adummim. Copyright Applied Research Institute of Jerusalem Ma'ale Adummim is seen by Palestinians as a threat to the territorial continuity of any future Palestinian state, given its strategic situation between the northern and southern areas of the West Bank.[4] This claim is largely disputed by mayor Benny Kashriel and others, who say that continuity is easily attained by simply circling around Ma'ale Adumim to the east.

Currently, Israeli drivers must use the bypass road that exits the city to the right, and travels through a valley to enter Jerusalem through the French Hill Junction or a newly constructed tunnel that goes under Mt. Scopus. Both roads were built during recent intifadas, or uprisings, to allow motorists to enter Jerusalem without being shot at by Palestinian snipers, or stoned. Intifada (also Intefadah or Intifadah; from shaking off) is an Arabic term for uprising or more commonly shaking off of filth. It came into common usage in English as the popularized name for two recent Palestinian campaigns directed at Israel. ...
In March 2005, a report by John Dugard, a Special Rapporteur for the United Nations Commission on Human Rights, stated that "the three major settlement blocs - Gush Etzion, Ma’ale Adummim and Ariel - will effectively divide Palestinian territory into cantons or Bantustans."[5] However, the mayor of the city and others have claimed that this would not be the case, by prominently displaying a carefully planned by-pass road, similar to the ones that hundreds of Israelis use daily to avoid injury should they pass near or through Arab areas. There is widespread expectation among Israelis that Ma'ale Adummim will be kept within Israel as part of future agreements with the Palestinian Authority. ↠- 2005 : January - February - March - April - May - June - July - August - September - October - November - December- → Deaths in March • 31 – Terri Schiavo • 30 – Mitch Hedberg • 29 – Johnnie Cochran • 27 – Wilfred Bigelow • 26 – Paul Hester • 26 – James Callaghan • 21 – Jeff Weise • 21 – Bobby Short • 19 – John De Lorean • 18 – Gary Bertini • 17 – George F...
