Local Council Kinneret is situated in the SE corner of the
Kinneret Sea, south to Tiberias on Afula-Zemah road. Usually refered to as
Kinneret-Moshava (meaning Kinneret Colony, as opossed to the
nearby Kibbutz Kinneret), it was founded in 1908 and named by the
Nobel Prize writer Shai Agnon. It has about 5,000 inh.
In my visit I spotted no flags. I asked around and was told that
in case of need an emblem on a variety of colours is used. So I
drew the popular blue on light blue as only probable
flag. The municipal emblem was published in the official
gazette (Rashumot), 'Publications Gazette' section (Yalkut
ha'Pirsumim), YP 890, 23 November 1961. Source: author's own
observation, 2 October 2001.

published in the official gazette (Rashumot), section Sefer
HaHukim 1897, 5 August 2003, Local Council.Kinneret was
demoted to Local Committee and incorporated into Regional Council. Emeq HaYarden. The
former Local Council flag could be in use - with a different
inscription - as the local committee flag.
