Megiddo Regional Council

The Megiddo Regional Council (Hebrew: מועצה אזורית מגידו, Mo'atza Azorit Megido) is a regional council in northern Israel encompassing land on the Menashe Plateau, and partly in the Jezreel Valley.

The council is bounded by the city of Yokneam Illit to the north, and the Carmel mountain range to the east, and houses about 9,600 people on nine kibbutzim, and four moshavim located in its municipal territory.

Before 1945, the territory of the council was part of Gush Nahalal, a municipal entity of the British Mandate.

There are three primary schools: Hatikva in Eliakim, Omarim in Yad Labanim Regional Center, and Plagim in HaZorea.
