This article is about the Palestinian village in the Tulkarm District depopulated in 1948. For other places, see Zeita.Template:Infobox former Arab villages in Palestine
Raml Zayta (Template:Lang-ar, Raml Zeitâ) (also Khirbet Qazaza) was a Palestinian Arab village located 15 km northwest of Tulkarm. In 1945, the village had a population of 140. Benny Morris writes that the causes of the village's depopulation and when it occurred are unknown.
American historian Rosemarie Esber interviewed a Raml Zaita villager, Zakiya Abu Hammad who said: " started going into people's homes and forcing them out. They told us, "You either leave or we´ll kill you." Some people were killed on the roads, as they abandoned their homes...They followed us. Those who were lucky, escaped with their lives, others did not."
According to Walid Khalidi, an Arab family is still living in the village in one of the original houses.
