History
1967, aftermath
After the 1967 Six-Day War, az-Za'ayyem has been under Israeli occupation.
After the 1995 accords, 3.8% (or 236 dunams) of the land was classified as Area B, the remaining 96.2% (or 5,896 dunams) as Area C.[3]
Israel has confiscated land from az-Za'ayyem in order to construct two Israeli settlements:
- 406 dunams for Ma’ale Adumim,[3]
- 138 dunams for Mishor Adumim (industrial zone).[3]
az-Za'ayyem lies close to Highway 1 to Jerusalem and the az-Za'ayyem check point in the separation barrier.[4][5][6][7]
