'New Gibeon') is an Israel settlement in the West Bank, built over land expropriated from the neighboring Palestinian villages of Biddu,[2] Beit Ijza,[3] and Al Jib.
[5] The settlement was originally established in 1895 by Yemenite Jews, but they left the location after a number of years.
It was named after the biblical Gibeon, in Hebrew Giv'on (Joshua 10:10-12), situated nearby.
It was resettled again in 1977 by members of Gush Emunim, and the Israeli government eventually confiscated land from three nearby Palestinian villages in order to construct Giv'on HaHadasha roughly where the original Yemenite settlement's lands had been occupied: The community eventually absorbed many Jewish emigrants from the former Soviet Union, as well as many Israeli-born Jews.
