The Israeli Ministry of Interior recognizes three types of local government in Israel: cities, regional councils, and local councils.
The regional council in Israel is a local authority which governs multiple rural communities which are located in the same relative geographic vicinity. Each community, whose population usually does not exceed 2000, is managed by a local committee which sends representatives to the administering regional council.
There are 54 regional councils in Israel.
