Neturei Karta (Aramaic: נָטוֹרֵי קַרְתָּא nāṭōrē qartāʾ, lit. 'Guardians of the City') is a fringe^[2] religious group of Haredi Jews that was founded in Jerusalem in 1938 after splitting off from Agudat Yisrael. It is an active opponent of Zionism and advocates a "peaceful dismantling" of the State of Israel under the belief that the Jewish people are strictly forbidden from re-establishing sovereignty in the Land of Israel until the arrival of the Messiah.^[3] To this end, the group's members believe that the existence of a Jewish state is a rebellion against God as it did not occur with divine intervention through the Messiah.^[4]^[5]

In Israel, some Neturei Karta members also pray at affiliated beth midrash, having a presence in Jerusalem's Mea Shearim and in Ramat Beit Shemesh Bet. The group has stated that it does not keep an official count of its membership.^[6]
