Found in: Local councils in Israel Israeli West Bank barrier
Alfei Menashe is a Jewish Israeli settlement located in the seam zone on the western edge of Samaria in the central West Bank. It was granted local council status in 1987. As of 2006, the Israel Central Bureau of Statistics counts 5,800 residents [*].
The town's proximity to the Green Line (less than east) and its similar proximity to the Palestinian Arab town of Qalqilyah has made its inclusion on the Israeli side of the West Bank barrier controversial, especially as the looping nature of the barrier's path forms a quasi-enclave of some Arab villages to its south. In September 2005, Israel's Supreme Court ruled that the government must consider re-routing the barrier in this area.
