The Shomron Regional Council (Hebrew: 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 35 Jewish towns[2] or Israeli settlements in the Samarian hills within its jurisdiction with a total population of about 23,600 people. The main offices are located in the Barkan Industrial Park. Wine industry becomes important too. So the logo[3] is inscribed with Biblical words from Jeremiah 31:5: "Again You will plant vineyards on the hills of Samaria."

According to official Israeli government data released last week, the population of Israeli settlements in the West Bank grew almost 25 percent between 2009 -- when current Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu assumed office -- and the beginning of 2014. In that same time, the overall Israeli population grew just 9.6 percent.
