Etz Efraim (Hebrew: עֵץ אֶפְרַיִם||Tree of Ephraim) is a mixed (religious and nonreligious) Israeli settlement in the West Bank. Located between Ariel and Rosh HaAyin, it falls under the jurisdiction of Shomron Regional Council. In 2021 it had a population of 2,519.[1]
The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[2]
The settlement was named for the Tribe of Ephraim, whose territory was in the area.[3]
