Carmel is an Israeli settlement and Religious Moshav in the south-east Mount Hebron area of the West Bank, close to the Palestinian Bedouin from the village of Umm al-Kheir, who settled there several decades ago after Israel expelled them from the Arad desert, and who purchased the land from residents in the Palestinian village of Yatta. According to David Shulman, Carmel lies on lands appropriated from the Bedouin of that village. It falls under the jurisdiction of the Har Hevron Regional Council and associates ideologically with the Amana settlement movement. In 2019 it had a population of 437.
The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.
