Regional Council of Ramat Negev (meaning Negev Heights,
a biblical reference to Joshua 19,8) covers 30% of the Negev area
making it the largest regional council in Israel. Est. 1954, it
includes 12 settlements with 4,500 inh.
The flag was reported as a monochrome field with emblem. The
municipal emblem was published in the official gazette (Rashumot),
'Publications Gazette' section (Yalkut HaPirsumim), YP
633, 13 November 1958.

This Regional Council had an official emblem that was
published in 1958 (which means that it already exists when the
first symbols act was published same year). I saw this
emblem in use at least in 2006.
Anyhow, it seems that they decided to "update" their
emblem.
The Minster of the Interior notify his intention to give a
protection decree to the new
emblem on 3 January 2008 (Published on YP 5770 p. 1694 on 27
January 2008) and issued the decree 11 May 2008 (Published on YP
5829 p. 3848 on 7 july 2008).
I expect that the new emblem will appear also on yellow flag.
