Sha'arei Tikva (Hebrew: שַׁעֲרֵי תִּקְוָה||Gates of Hope) is an Israeli settlement in the West Bank at an elevation of 200 metres. Located northeast of Rosh HaAyin and one kilometre east of the Green Line near Elkana, it is organised as a community settlement and falls under the jurisdiction of Shomron Regional Council. In 2021 it had a population of 6,122.[1]
The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[2]
According to ARIJ, Israel confiscated land from three nearby Palestinian villages in order to construct Sha'arei Tikva. The largest part were taken from Azzun Atma, which lost 2,689 dunums to Sha'arei Tikva and Oranit,[3] 8 dunams from Mas-ha,[4] and 3 dunums from Beit Amin.[5]
Sha'arei Tikva was founded in 1983, with the first residents moving there in April 1985. The goal of the founders was to create a mixed religious and secular community. The town was awarded municipal council status in 1990. Remains from the Second Temple period have been discovered nearby.[6]
