Kokhav Ya'ir

Kokhav Ya'ir–Tzur Yig'al (Hebrew: כּוֹכַב יָאִיר-צוּר יִגְאָל, also Kochav Yair–Tzur Yigal) is a town (local council) in the Central District of Israel.

He was the founder and leader of the Lehi group, a militant Jewish underground active during the British Mandate of Palestine.

[citation needed] Neighboring the municipality on its south-west border is kibbutz Eyal, approximately 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) north-west is the Israeli Arab city of Tira and approximately 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) south is the Palestinian Authority governed city of Qalqilyah.

[citation needed] Kokhav Ya'ir's country club from 2010 to 2017 refused membership to Palestinian citizens of Israel and Israeli Arabs.

After a petition from Tira, an Arab village nearby, the club decided to “sanitize” its racist policy by restricting membership to Kochav Yair–Tzur Yig'al's residents.
