This article lists the 78 localities in Israel that the Israeli Ministry of Interior has designated as a city council.
The list is based on the current index of the Israel Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS). Within Israel's system of local government, an urban municipality can be granted a city council by the Interior Ministry when its population exceeds 20,000.[1] The term "city" does not generally refer to local councils or urban agglomerations, even though a defined city often contains only a small portion of an urban area or metropolitan area's population.
List of cities
As for 2025, Israel has 18 cities with populations over 100,000, including Jerusalem and Tel Aviv-Yafo. In all, there are 80 Israeli localities granted "municipalities" (or "city") status by the Ministry of the Interior, including four Israeli settlements in the West Bank.[2] Two more cities, Kasif and Tila, are planned to be built in the Negev.[3] The area and population of Jerusalem includes that of East Jerusalem which has been de facto annexed by Israel and incorporated within Jerusalem's municipal borders under the Jerusalem Law. This, however, is not recognized by the international community who regard East Jerusalem to be Palestinian territory held under Israeli occupation.[4][5] If East Jerusalem is considered part of Israel, Tel Aviv is the country's second most populous city with Template:Israel populations residents after Jerusalem with Template:Israel populations; if not, Tel Aviv is the most populous city, followed by West Jerusalem with 362,960.[6]
The following table lists Israeli cities, not including the settlements, by name, district, population, area, and the Socio-Economic Index, according to the Israel Central Bureau of Statistics:
