Carmel City

Carmel City (Hebrew: עִיר הַכַּרְמֶל, Ir HaKarmel; Arabic: مدينة الكرمل Madīnat al-Karmel) was a short-lived city in the Haifa District of Israel, named after its location on Mount Carmel.

In 2003 Interior Minister Avraham Poraz announced plans to combine several local councils.

[3] Residents did not adopt the new city, instead continued to refer to themselves as being from Daliyat al-Karmel or Isfiya.

At the interim period between the approval of the split and new elections former general Gabi Ophir was appointed as mayor.

According to the Israel Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), Carmel City's population at the end of 2007 was 24,900, with a Druze majority, and a Christian minority.
