Gilo
Gilo is a large residential area in south-western East Jerusalem with a population of 40,000, mostly Jewish. It is widely considered an Israeli settlement because as one of the five Ring Neighborhoods built by Israel surrounding Jerusalem, it was built on land in the West Bank that was occupied by and annexed to Israel following the 1967 Six-Day War and 1980 Jerusalem Law. The international community regards Israeli settlements illegal under international law, although Israel disputes this.
