The Allon Road is the name commonly given by
Israelis to routes #578, #508, and #458 in the
West Bank, running roughly north-south between Mehola in the central
Jordan Valley and east of
Ma'ale Adummim on the eastern outskirts of Jerusalem.The road was the first immediate step in implementing the
Allon Plan which was perhaps one of the earliest Israeli initiatives to deal with the territory west of
Jordan that was newly occupied in the 1967
Six-Day War. The plan called for the Israeli annexation of the narrow corridor of land along the west of the
Jordan River up to the eastern slopes of the Samarian mountains in order to assure minimal strategical depth while relinquishing the rest of the West Bank to Arab-Jordanian control.
