The emblem of Beit-Arye has not been formally adopted. Israeli
municipalities in areas occupied since 1967 cannot register their
emblems. The reason is that those areas are not legally part of
Israel and according to international law they are governed by
decrees of the military commander of the areas. Many Israeli laws
are in force in those municipalities when adopted there by the
military commander, but the Symbols/Emblems
Protection Act of 1974 is not one of them.

The Local Council appears at the official
site as Local Council Bet Arye-Offarim (following the
unification with Offarim in 2004) even thou that the Ministry of
the Interior didn't report any change in the name. The emblem is
the same as reported but no flag is seen in the photos at this
site.
