Al-Judeira (Arabic: جديره) is a Palestinian village in the Jerusalem Governorate of the State of Palestine, in the central West Bank.

According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics, the town had a population of 2,634 in 2017.[1]

Toponymy

E. H. Palmer of the Palestine Exploration Fund wrote that Al-Judeira means "sheep-fold", after the Hebrew: גדרה, romanized: Gederah, "fold".[2]

Location

The barrier in northern Jerusalem, which confines al-Juderia to an enclave under Israeli control.

Al Judeira is located (horizontally) 9.3 kilometers (5.8 mi) north-west of Jerusalem. To the east is Kalandia, Rafat is to the north, Al Jib is to the west, and Bir Nabala is to the south.[3]

History

Ancient period

Several scholars have suggested that Judeira is the site of Gederah in Benjamin, which is mentioned in the Bible as home to Yozabad the Gederathite, a Benjaminite warrior who defected to David. It is mentioned shortly after the nearby sites of Azmaveth (identified with modern-day Hizme), Anathoth (probably 'Anata) and Gibeon (Al Jib).[4][5][6]

Ottoman era

In the Ottoman census of the 1500s, Jadira was noted as a village located in the nahiya of Jerusalem.[7]

In 1838 el-Jedireh was noted as a Muslim village, located north of Jerusalem.[8][9]

In 1863 Guérin described it as a small village, with a mosque consecrated to a Sheikh Yassin. In the courtyard in front of this sanctuary, he noticed what was possibly an old Corinthian capital, which had been made into a mortar, where the villagers pounded coffee.[10] An Ottoman village list from about 1870 found that the village had a population of 40, in a total of 13 houses, though the population count only included men. It was also noted that it was located east of Al Jib.[11][12]

In 1883, the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine (SWP) described it as "a small village on a slope, surrounded by figs and olives, and with rock-cut tombs to the north."[4]

British Mandate era

In the 1922 census of Palestine conducted by the British Mandate authorities, Ijdireh had a population of 122, all Muslims,[13] increasing in the 1931 census to 139 Muslim inhabitants, in 31 inhabited houses.[14]

In the 1945 statistics Judeira had a population of 190 Muslims,[15] with 2,044 dunams of land, according to an official land and population survey.[16] Of this, 353 dunams were plantations and irrigable land, 1,314 used for cereals,[17] while 7 dunams were built-up (urban) land.[18]

Jordanian era

In the wake of the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, and after the 1949 Armistice Agreements, al-Judeira came under Jordanian rule.

The Jordanian census of 1961 found 328 inhabitants in Judeira.[19]

Post-1967

Since the Six-Day War in 1967, al-Judeira has been under Israeli occupation.

After the 1995 accords, 25.4% of the village’s land was classified as Area B, the remaining 74.6% is classified was Area C.[20]

In 2005, Israel started the construction of a separation barrier around al-Judeira, Al Jib, Bir Nabala, Beit Hanina al-Balad and Kalandiya.[21] The wall was built on Palestinian land seized by Military Orders.[22] The wall completely surrounds the villages, forming an enclave.[23]
