Golan Regional Council, Regional administrative council in Golan Heights, Israel
The Golan Regional Council is the administrative body managing settlements across the Golan Heights, an elevated terrain situated between Mount Hermon and the Sea of Galilee. The main office is located in Katzrin and oversees multiple settlement types with distinct organizational structures.
The regional council was established in 1979 to manage territories that came under new control following the 1967 conflict. This administrative structure developed to organize the growing number of settlements across the territory.
The regional council brings together diverse communities that share this territory and shape its everyday rhythms. Different groups maintain their own traditions while coexisting in the same settlements.
The regional council has its administrative center in Katzrin, where visitors can obtain information about local services and facilities. The terrain is elevated, so travelers should be prepared for variable weather conditions and varying road conditions.
The territory is rich in water sources that spring from natural springs and underground reserves, making water availability a defining feature of the landscape. These resources support agriculture across the elevated terrain.
