Gilo (Hebrew: גִּלֹה‎) is an Israeli neighbourhood in south-western East Jerusalem, with a population of 40,000, mostly Jewish inhabitants. Although it is located within the Jerusalem Municipality, it is widely considered a "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
