Argaman (Hebrew: אַרְגָּמָן, lit. 'Crimson') is an Israeli settlement organized as a moshav in the West Bank. Located in the Jordan Valley,[2] eight kilometres north of the Damia Bridge with an area of 4,500 dunams,[citation needed] it falls under the jurisdiction of Bik'at HaYarden Regional Council. In 2022, its population was 131.
The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[3]
