Giv'ot Olam


Giv'ot Olam is an organic farm and Israeli settlement outpost in the Samarian hills of the West Bank. Located 4.5 kilometres south-east of Itamar, it falls under the jurisdiction of Shomron Regional Council.
The outpost was established in late 1998 by Avri Ran, a right wing activist and organic farmer who raises free-range chickens and sells their eggs on the organic food market.
The outpost's name is taken from Moses' Biblical blessing for Joseph: "with the fruitfulness of the hills of eternity."
The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.
