The Shomron Regional Council ((ヘブライ語:מועצה אזורית שומרון), ''Mo'atza Azorit Shomron'', English ''Samaria Regional Council'') is an Israeli regional council in the northern West Bank. It provides municipal services for the 29 Israeli settlements in the Samarian hills within its jurisdiction with a total population of about 23,600 people. The council seat is located in Elon Moreh, the offices are located in the Barkan Industrial Park. The municipal area of the Council spreads across 2,800 square kilometers. Until the fall of 2005 when some of its municipal land was abandoned as part of Israel's unilateral disengagement plan, the Shomron Regional Council had been the largest Israeli regional council in municipal area. The head of Shomron Regional Council is Gershon Mesika, who was elected in November 2007, replacing Benzi Lieberman. Mesika was replaced by Yossi Dagan in 2015 after a corruption scandal. ==Geography== The municipal area of the Council spreads across 2,800 square kilometers, which corresponds to about 10 percent of the area of the State of Israel within the Green Line.
