Local council (Israel)

Local councils (Hebrew plural: מוֹעָצוֹת מְקוֹמִיּוֹת, romanizedMo'atzot Mekomiot;[1] singular: מוֹעָצָה מְקוֹמִית Mo'atza Mekomit; Arabic plural: مجالس محليّة, romanizedMajalis Mahaliyya; singular: مجلس محلّي Majlis Mahallī)[2] are one of the three types of local government found in Israel, the other two being cities and regional councils. There are 124 local councils in Israel,[3] including 69 Arab local councils.[4]

Local councils should not be confused with local committees, which are lower-level administrative entities.
