Merom Golan (Hebrew: מְרוֹם גּוֹלָן) is an Israeli settlement and kibbutz in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. It is located at the bottom of the volcanic crater[2] of Mount Bental. The settlement falls under the jurisdiction of Golan Regional Council. In 2015, it had a population of 675.[1]
The international community considers Israeli settlements in the Golan Heights illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[3]
