Aniam (Hebrew:אֲנִיעָם) is anIsraeli settlement organized as amoshav, located in theGolan Heights. The settlement was built in 1978 and falls under the municipal jurisdiction of theGolan Regional Council. In 2022 it had a population of 499.[1]
The international community considers Israeli settlements in the Golan Heightsillegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[2]
The name Ani'am is derived from a member of the Menashe tribe (1 Chronicles 7:19), whose tribal area included the Golan Heights.
The economy of Ani'am is based on the provision of engineering services, on agriculture (mango, citrus vines and grapes for the production of wine and flowers) and the raising ofMerino sheep. The village also has a distribution board factory. Many artists have settled in Ani'am and have created the "Artists' boulevard" in the settlement, with art galleries where each artist has built a structure unique to his or her artistic style. There are also boutiques, a pub-restaurant as well as guest cabins in Ani'am.[3]
