Gizo (Hebrew: גִּיזוֹ) is a community settlement in central Israel, northwest of Beit Shemesh, under the jurisdiction of the Mateh Yehuda Regional Council. In 2022 it had a population of 207.[1]
History
The village was established in 1960 by the Jewish Agency as a place of residence for teachers of the Gizo Regional Council school, and was named after the nearby biblical city of Gizo (1 Chronicles 11:34).[2] It is on the former lands of the depopulated Palestinian village of Bayt Jiz,[3] whose name also possibly referred to Gizo.[2]
