Mr Dan Vardi, local council computerizing and public relations
co-ordinator wrote me:
Local Council Ma'ale Ephrayim has a flag representing the Local Council emblem on white. There are some variations to the emblem (green colour and colour changing - positive and negative) - but since the founding of the settlements and its proclamation as local authority, this is the emblem and flag of our settlement.

The emblem of Ma'ale Ephraim 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.

Ma'ale Ephraim was established in 1978 as the urban center for
all the settlements of the Jordan Valley. Local Council since 11
March 1981.
