Regional Council Ef'al was founded in 1950 as Regional Council
Ono and changed its name in 1984. It is situated in the centre of
Israel, between Ramat Gan in its eastern border, Bar-Ilan
University on its north, Tel-ha'Shomer Hospital on the east and
Ayalon river on the south. It is one of the smallest Regional
Councils and unites only five entities with 5,500 inhabitants.
Its flag is white with green emblem. The municipal emblem was
published in the official gazette (Rashumot, Yalkut
ha-Pirsumim), YP 989, 10 January 1963, for the then Regional
Council Ono.
Sources: letter from Mr. Daniel Yosef, Deputy City
Clerk/Treasurer, 5 September 2001; desk flag; this
webpage. The emblem probably shows a fig-tree leaf.

This small Regional Council made of 4 entities was supposed to
be dissolved according to MOTI plan by adding them to existing
municipalities. Kfar AZAR, Ramat Ef'al and Neve Ef'al were
supposed to be added to Ra?at Gan and Ramat Pinkas was supposed
to be added to Or Yehuda. This plan was cancelled, keeping it the
smallest Regional Council in Israel."
I visited the city hall today and the flag is yellow.

On 1 March 2007, the Minister of the Interior decided to
dissolve Regional Council Ef'al due to its poor financial
condition. Kefar Azar and Ramat Ef'al were annexed to Ramat-Gan while Ramat Pinkas was annexed to
Or Yehuda. Those symbols are now obsoloete.
