The emblem of Oranit has not been formally adopted. Israeli
municipalities in areas occupied since 1967 can't 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.
