Maskiot
Found in: Israeli settlements
Maskiot is an Israeli settlement in the West Bank. Located in the northern Jordan Vally, it falls under the jurisdiction of Bik'at HaYarden Regional Council.
It was founded as a Nahal settlement, and in July 2008 it was reportedly close to being expanded. According to Israeli Radio, the expansion was part of a deal between settlers in Israeli Outposts established without the permission of the Israeli Government and the Israeli Defence Ministry.
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said he was "deeply concerned" over the new Maskiot plan, whereas the British government said it was "dismayed". A spokesman for US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said that the settlement expansion was "not helpful", and "inconsistent with Israel's commitment to the roadmap".
