The Ring Neighborhoods (Israeli term; Hebrew: שכונות הטבעת) or Ring Settlements of Jerusalem[clarification needed] are eight Israeli settlements built as suburban satellites to East Jerusalem.[1] The first neighborhoods built after 1967 were Ramot, French Hill, Neve Yaakov, Pisgat Ze'ev, East Talpiot, and Gilo.[2] In the 1990s, Ramat Shlomo and Har Homa[3] were added to the list. The international community does not recognize Israeli sovereignty over East Jerusalem and considers the neighborhoods illegal settlements, but the Israeli government disputes this.[4]
