Administrative Divisions (Mehozot)

The State of Israel’s administrative organization is based on three levels of governance: the central government, districts, and local entities.

Through the Ministry of the Interior, Israel is divided into seven main administrative districts, known in Hebrew as mehozot (singular: mahoz):

• The Central District,

• Haifa District, Jerusalem District,

• Northern District,

• Southern District,

• Tel Aviv District,

• and the Judea and Samaria Area in the West Bank.

  
  

Each district has a capital, district government offices, a district court, and other institutions. The Judea and Samaria districts, as well as parts of the Jerusalem and Northern districts, are not internationally recognized as part of Israel and are administered by the Ministry of the Interior.

The districts do not have elected institutions. However, they do have councils made up of representatives from central government ministries and local authorities for planning and building matters.

Administrative structure in Israel

Israel’s district system plays an important role in organizing governance, public administration, and regional planning. It helps the central government manage services and development across different parts of the country.

Districts and local governance

Although the districts themselves are not elected bodies, they coordinate with local authorities and state institutions to support planning, infrastructure, and administrative oversight.
