Sheizaf (Hebrew: שיזף) is a mixed religious-secular community settlement in southern Israel. Located around 25 kilometres south of Beersheba, it falls under the jurisdiction of Ramat HaNegev Regional Council. In 2023 it had a population of 142.[1]

History

[edit | edit source]

The village was founded on 8 February 2012 by ten families.[2] Initially an unofficial settlement, it was declared illegal by a Beersheba District Court in November 2014 as it had been established on land planned for a student village, but Interior Minister Gideon Sa'ar overruled the decision and granted formal recognition to the village.[3]
