History
Wadi al-Hawarith
Prior to the eviction of Palestinian tenants, the village of Wadi al-Hawarith owned and farmed the land where Geulei Teiman now stands. In 1929, the Jewish National Fund purchased 30,800 dunums of land from the village's absentee landlords at an auction. Following the purchase, the JNF began the process of evicting the peasant tenants living on the land. The British-appointed Shaw Commission described the impact of this eviction, stating that a "state of extreme apprehension" spread throughout the Palestinian public, who feared they might also be displaced by Jewish settlers.[2] Population estimates for Wadi al-Hawarith in 1929 varied, with the Jewish Agency's Settlement Department reporting 850 people, the British high commissioner estimating between 1,000 and 1,200, and the tribal leader counting 1,500.[3]
Geulei Teiman was then established on land seized from the Palestinian tenants in 1947.[3]
