Tomer (Hebrew: תֹּמֶר, lit. 'Palm Tree') is an Israeli settlement organized as a moshav in the West Bank.[2] Located in the Jordan Valley next to the Palestinian village of Fasayil, it falls under the jurisdiction of Bik'at HaYarden Regional Council.[2] In 2022 it had a population of 310.

The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[3][4][5][6]

History

According to ARIJ, Israel confiscated 1,049 dunams of land from the Palestinian village of Fasayil[7] in order to construct Tomer.

The village was established in 1976,[8] and was named after the trees common in the area. In March 1978 it moved to its present location near Highway 90.

Geert Wilders, the leader of the Dutch Party for Freedom, worked here as a Kibbutz volunteer in 1981.[9]
