Description

Regional Council Matte Yehuda (after the biblical tribe of Juda, hence the stylized lion) is situated west of Jerusalem. Est. in 1964 and has 30,000 inh. in 65 settlements (more than any other Regional Council in Israel). It replaced the previous Regional Council's of Hare Yehuda (Juda Mounts), Even HaEzer, Gizo and HaEla..
The flag was reported as a monochrome field with emblem. I drew a basic flag until colours are confirmed. The municipal emblem was published in the official gazette (Rashumot), 'Publications Gazette' section (Yalkut ha'Pirsumim), YP 1443, 18 April 1968. Homepage at <www.m-yehuda.org.il>.
