Neria, Mateh Binyamin

Neria (Hebrew: נֵרִיָּה‎), also known as Talmon Tzafon (Hebrew: טַלְמוֹן צָפוֹן‎, lit. North Talmon) or Talmon Bet (Hebrew: טַלְמוֹן ב'‎, lit. Talmon B) is a national-religious Israeli settlement in the West Bank. Located next to Talmon and between Modi'in Illit and Ramallah, it is organised as a community settlement and falls under the jurisdiction of Mateh Binyamin Regional Council. It has a population of around 300 families.[1] The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[2]
