The Israel Land Fund is an Israeli right-wing organization that seeks to encourage Jewish settlement in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.[1] It was founded by Aryeh King in 2007.[2] In 2017 almost all of its funding came from the American Central Fund of Israel.[2]
In 2009 the group announced that it was seeking to buy historically Jewish-owned land in Jordan.[3][4]
In 2017 a Palestinian family was evicted from a house in Sheikh Jarrah that the fund had purchased, after a lengthy court battle. This was the first such eviction in the neighborhood since 2009.[5]
