Nofei Nehemia

<h2 id="history">History</h2>
The village is named after Nehemia Ben Yehuda, the head of a family who owns a <a href="/facts/Crane_(machine)/Q5axXY0l">crane</a> company who have been very involved in assisting the establishment of settlements in the <a href="/facts/West_Bank/xzTTVNJl">West Bank</a>.
The village was established in 2002 as an <a href="/facts/Israeli_outpost/x8bckf3G">illegal outpost</a>. In 2003, the Israeli government pledged to dismantle the village.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5">5</a>
In January 2021, under <a href="/facts/Benjamin_Netanyahu/581DW7MB">Benjamin Netanyahu</a>, the Israeli government decided to legalize the illegal outpost of Nofei Nehemia by reclassifying it as a “neighborhood” of the <a href="/facts/Rehelim/yJ9GChDA">Rehelim</a> settlement, which itself was an illegal outpost that was legalized a few years prior.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:6" href="#fn:6">6</a>
