Israeli municipalities
Israeli municipalities are local government entities responsible for managing services and infrastructure within specific urban or regional areas. They oversee functions such as education, sanitation, transportation, zoning, and public safety. Each municipality, led by elected officials, operates within national laws but has authority over local issues, ensuring community needs are addressed. Israel's municipalities vary in size and population, from small towns to large cities like Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, and serve as the administrative and governance framework for residents to access essential civic services.
