East Talpiot
East Talpiot or Armon HaNetziv is a neighborhood in southern East Jerusalem, established in 1973 in the upswing of building that followed the Six-Day War, in an area unilaterally annexed to Israel but internationally recognized as being a part of the Palestinian territories. The international community considers Israeli neighborhoods in East Jerusalem to be illegal settlements,[1] but the Israeli government disputes this.[2] East Talpiot is one of Jerusalem's ring neighborhoods.
Before the new housing projects built after 1967, the area was known as Armon HaNetziv (lit. The Governor's Palace) after the headquarters of the British High Commissioner located on the hilltop.[3] In 1928, Rachel Yanait Ben-Zvi, wife of Israel's second president Yitzhak Ben-Zvi, established an agricultural training farm for young women, the first of its kind in the country, in the area of East Talpiot. Both the farm and the Arab Girls College, another historical landmark, are earmarked for conservation.[4] The Lili and Elejandro Shaltiel Community Center was inaugurated in 1980.[5] Beit Canada, an absorption center for new immigrants, is located in East Talpiot.......Wikipedia >>
