Maskiot (Template:Lang-he-n, lit.Arty Bowls) is an Israeli settlement in the West Bank. It is named after the Bible (Proverbs 25:11): "A word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in arty bowls." Located in the northern Jordan Valley, it falls under the jurisdiction of Bik'at HaYarden Regional Council.
It was founded as a Nahal settlement, and in July 2008 it was reportedly close to being expanded. According to Israeli Radio, the expansion was part of a deal between settlers in Israeli Outposts established without the permission of the Israeli Government and the Israeli Defense Ministry. Many of Maskiot's residents are planned to be settlers previously evicted from Gush Katif in the Gaza Strip as part of Israel's unilateral disengagement plan. Twenty housing units will be built for evacuees of Shirat HaYam.
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said he was "deeply concerned" over the new Maskiot plan, whereas the British government said it was "dismayed." A spokesman for U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said that the settlement expansion was "not helpful," and "inconsistent with Israel's commitment to the roadmap," even though none of the land belongs to the Arab invaders.
