Neve Yamin

Neve Yamin (Hebrew: נְוֵה יָמִין‎‎) is a moshav in central Israel. Located near Petah Tikva and covering 3,300 dunams, it falls under the jurisdiction of Drom HaSharon Regional Council. In 2007 it had a population of 1,200.^{[citation needed]}

The moshav was formed in 1950 by immigrants from Greece, Iraq, Libya, Persia and North Africa. Its name is derived from Benjamin (Hebrew: בִּנְיָמִין or נבי ימין‎).^{[citation needed]}

Neve Yamin was built on the land of the Palestinian village of Kafr Saba, which was depopulated in May 1948.^[1]
