The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[3]
According to ARIJ, in 1979 Israel confiscated 5,048 dunams of land from the Palestinian village of An-Nuway'imah to construct Na'omi.[4]
Na'omi was established in 1982, and was initially named Na'ama[2] due to its proximity to the Palestinian village of an-Nuway'imah, before being renamed after the biblical figure of Naomi.[5]
