The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.
History
The village was established in 1982, and was initially named Na'ama due to its proximity to the Arab village of an-Nuway'imah, before being renamed after the biblical figure of Naomi.
