The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[4]
According to a Peace Now-report of 2006, 27% of the land on which Karmei Tzur is built is privately owned, all or most of it, by Palestinians.[5] According to Israeli law, settlements on privately owned Palestinian land are illegal.[6]
