Bik'at HaYarden Regional Council

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bik'at HaYarden Regional Council (Hebrew: מועצה אזורית בקעת הירדן‎, lit. Jordan Valley Regional Council) is a regional council in the Jordan River Valley of the West Bank. The municipal territory of the council reaches from Mehola in the north, near the Beit She'an valley, to Jericho in the south, and includes over twenty Israeli settlements.

Most of the settlements are located on the two major north-south roads traversing the council's territory. The Allon Road on the west and Route 90 on the east. The town of Ma'ale Efrayim, a local council, is located within the regional council's borders, but constitutes an independent municipality. The regional council offices are located at the Shlomtzion regional centre.

Dovi Tal is the head of the council (2006).
