Ganim

Former Israeli settlement in the West Bank

Former Israeli settlement in the West Bank

Ganim () was an Israeli settlement in the northern West Bank, just west of the large Palestinian city of Jenin, under the administrative local government of the Shomron Regional Council. Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, are illegal under international law.

History

The settlement was founded in 1983 by members of Betar. Its name was derived from the assumed biblical name of Jenin, the nearby city, which was originally called Ein Ganim (Anem) of the Tribe of Issachar (). For this reason, Ein Ganim was also the name given to an Israeli community which today is a neighborhood of the Israeli city of Petah Tikva.

The residents of Ganim were evicted from their homes and the synagogue was dismantled by the Israeli army as part of Israel's disengagement in 2005.

On 11 December 2025, the Israeli security cabinet approved the reestablishment of Ganim as part of a decision to establish 19 new settlements.{{cite web | trans-title = Israel’s security cabinet decided to establish 19 new settlements | access-date = 6 December 2025
