The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[3]
The Israeli Psagot Winery was established in the settlement on privately owned Palestinian land; a demolition order (COGAT Order 252/03)[4] was issued by the Israeli authorities against the winery as, even under Israeli law, the Israeli building over privately-owned land was illegal. As of 2019, the order had yet to be enforced.[5]
