Ma'ale Mikhmas (Hebrew: <templatestyles src="Script/styles_hebrew.css" />מַעֲלֵה מִכְמָשׂ) is an Israeli settlement organized as a communal settlement in the Binyamin region of the northern West Bank. Located a few miles northeast of Jerusalem, it is under the municipal responsibility of the Mateh Binyamin Regional Council. In 2015, the population was 1,612.[1]
Ma'ale Mikhmas was founded in 1981 along the Allon Road by a group of families from Ma'ale Adummim. It is named after the Biblical Mikhmas (Isaiah 10:28; Esra 2:27).[2]
The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[3]
The population of Ma'ale Mikhmas is evenly divided between native-born Israelis and immigrants from English-speaking countries, South America, France and Ethiopia. It defines itself as a religious communal settlement.[4]
