Mateh Yehuda Regional Council

Mateh Yehuda Regional Council encompasses 480 square kilometers of varied terrain, including agricultural lands, residential areas, and natural reserves in central Israel.

The council, established in 1964, derives its name from the biblical territory allocated to the Tribe of Judah during ancient times.

The region contains numerous settlements representing different communities, from religious to secular Jewish populations, along with two Arab villages within its boundaries.

The council manages essential services for over 51,000 residents across multiple settlements, including infrastructure development, education systems, and public transportation networks.

Within the council's jurisdiction lies Neve Shalom, a cooperative village where Jewish and Arab citizens of Israel maintain an integrated community.
