Tayibe, also spelled Taibeh or Tayiba, (

Arabic: الطَّيِّبَة, romanized: et-Tayyibe, lit. 'the kind/benevolent', South Levantine pronunciation: [etˈtˤɑjbe]; Hebrew: טַיִּבָּה) is an Arab city in central Israel, 12 km (7 mi) north east of Kfar Saba.[3] Part of the Triangle region, in 2022 it had a population of 46,020.[1]

History

A village called Tayyibat al-Ism was on the list of lands allocated by sultan

amirs in 663 AH (1265–1266 CE), about five centuries after the Arab conquest of Palestine. In Mamluk times, the village name appeared on documents referring to the waqf of the mosque in Hebron.[4]

It has been suggested that the village is identical with Tivata (טיבתה‎), a settlement mentioned in the Talmud.[5] According to the Jerusalemite Talmud (Demai 22c), the inn of this settlement (Pundeqâ de Tibetah) marked the territorial limit of Caesarea.[6]

Ottoman Empire

Under

Muslim, paid a fixed tax rate of 33,3% on wheat, barley, summer crops ( melons, beans, vegetables), olive trees, beehives and goats; a total of 19,800 akçe. All of the revenue went to a waqf.[8] Pierre Jacotin called the village Taibeh on his map in 1799.[9]

In the 1860s, the Ottoman authorities granted the village agricultural plots of land called Ghabat al-Taiyiba al-Shamaliyya and Ghabat al-Taiyiba al-Qibliyya in the former confines of the Forest of Arsur (Ar. Al-Ghaba) in the coastal plain, west of the village.[10][11]

In 1870/1871 (1288

AH), an Ottoman census listed the village in the nahiya (sub-district) of Bani Sa'b.[12]

The French explorer Victor Guérin described it as a village south of Fardisya,[13] while in the 1882 "Survey of Western Palestine", Tayibe was described as: "a large straggling village on the end of a slope, principally built of stone. It is supplied by cisterns and surrounded with olives."[14]

In the

Muslims,[15] increasing in the 1931 census, to 2,944, all Muslim, living in 658 houses. The count may have included two nearby Bedouin tribes.[16]

In the 1945 statistics the population was 4,290 Muslims,[17] while the land area was 32,750 dunams, according to an official land and population survey. This included some nearby Arab communities.[18] Of this, 559 were allocated for citrus and bananas, 3,180 plantations and irrigable land, 23,460 for cereals,[19] while 281 dunams were classified as built-up areas.[20]

Israel

During the

Law of Acquisition of Absentee Property, which was passed in 1950 but made retroactive, was specially devised to take care of cases like this. Although they had not moved from their village, the inhabitants were declared 'absentees' and their land 'abandoned property'. According to the villagers, they lost 8,000 acres (3,237.49 ha) of their 11,000 acres (4,451.54 ha)."[21]

Tayibe achieved local council status in 1952. In 1990, it was declared a city.[3]

In 2022, the Supreme Court ruled that the 2017 seizure of 7.5 acres (3.04 ha) by the same legal device was permitted and charged costs to the petitioners.[22] The families involved were refused access to the maps on which the ruling was based on "national security" grounds.[22] Haaretz described the move as "legalized theft", "in defiance of both the spirit of the law and its rationale".[23]

On Oct 11 2024, five residents of Tayibe were indicted for allegedly pledging allegiance to Islamic State, viewing the group's social media content, and having watched "instructional videos on preparing explosives and bombs."[24] with one suspect accused of stating his intent to "blow up Azrieli" a skyscraper complex in Tel Aviv.[25][26][24]

An educational empowerment project has been operating in Tayibe since 2006 to reduce the dropout rate among Bedouin students. The students receive extra help in Arabic, Hebrew, English and math, and attend special enrichment workshops in inter-personal communication. Following the success of this project, the project has been expanded to nearby Qalansawe and other Arab villages in Israel.[31]
