Dikla (Palm) was an Israeli settlement in the northeastern part of the Sinai Peninsula established during Israel's occupation of the peninsula from the end of the 1967 Six-Day War, until that part of the Sinai was handed over to Egypt in 1982 as part of the terms of the 1979 Israel-Egypt Peace Treaty. The first residents came from the right-wing Betar movement, linked to the Likud party of Menachem Begin. Land for the community totaled 500 acres (2.0 km2).
