Israeli settlement movement
Amana ('Covenant') is an Israeli
settlement movement formed by
Gush Emunim in 1976.
[1]
[2] Its primary goal was "developing communities in
Judea ,
Samaria , the
Golan Heights , the
Galilee , the
Negev and
Gush Katif ."
[3] The initial communities it developed were
Ofra ,
Mevo Modi'in ,
Kedumim , and
Ma'aleh Adumim .
[3] Settlements developed in the
West Bank , including
East Jerusalem , are
illegal under international law .
[4]
It became a registered association in 1978.
[5]
[6] It was also recognized by the
World Zionist Organization .
[7] Over time, it became nearly independent of Gush Emunim.
[8]
An investigation by the
Israeli police into 15 land deals conducted by the Amana subsidiary Al Watan concluded early in 2016 that 14 of the transactions were fraudulent.
[9] One method used involved giving a suitcase full of cash to a fake Palestinian owner and taking it back afterwards.
[9] Al Watan denied the charges.
[9]
On 27 June 2024, Canada imposed sanctions on the Amana movement "for their role in facilitating, supporting or financially contributing to acts of
violence ... against Palestinian civilians and their property".
