Giv'at Ze'ev (גבעת זאב) is an Israeli city in the north of Jerusalem. According to the Israel Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), at the end of 2003 the city had a total population of 12,000.
[edit] Requested move
This should be turned into Givat Ze'ev, not Giv'at Ze'ev. The first ' is totally useless. It doesn't affect pronunciation, confuses the reader and has no purpose at all. Google gives: "737 for Giv'at Ze'ev" and "25,500 for Givat Ze'ev". Seems clear. "Giv'at Ze'ev" is nonsense, the only sensible title is Givat Ze'ev. --Daniel575 22:55, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Categories
It appears that this town is not in Israel but in the West Bank, part of the Israeli-occupied territories. In light of this all of the categories except 'Judea and Samaria area' seem misleading. I will happily recat (Category:Israeli cities in the West Bank looks a good option) but am running this past others first. Opinions please! Wavehunter 22:28, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
- I've been bold and done it. Making it sit both under Palestinian Territories (de jure) and Judea and Samaria (de facto) seems a fair compromise. Wavehunter 03:03, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
The Government of Japan just issued this statement with regard to this settlement. By the way - the spelling you have for the name is correct:
March 12, 2008
Foreign Press Center (No. ***)
Statement by Press Secretary/Director-General for Press and Public Relations, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, on the announcement of the Gevernment of Israel regarding the construction of houseing units at a settlement in the vicinity of Jerusalem
1. The Government of Japan is concerned about the recent approval of the Government of Israel regarding the resumption of construction of approximately 750 housing units at the settlement of Giv’at Ze’ev located in the vicinity of Jerusalem, and calls upon the Government of Israel to immediately review such plan of the construction as it might have negative impacts on the current peace process.
2. Eespecially while the peace negotiations between the Israeli and the Palestinian sides, which were relaunched by the Annapolis Conference, have fallen into difficulties due to the recent situation in the Gaza Strip and the southern Israel and the terrorist shooting attack in Jerusalem, such unilateral measure of the housing construcion in the controversial settlements, following the announcement in last December, might further undermine the momentum for peace and could never make any constructive contribution to the confidence-building between the parties concerned.
3. As Japan hopes that a peace agreement will be reached as soon as possible and peaceful co-existence and co-prosperity will be realized between the Israelis and the Palestinians, we strongly hope that the Israeli side will fulfill the Road Map obligations and will make due efforts with maximum self-restraints and good-faith for the bilateral negotiations in order not to deteriorate the situation on the ground.
