Local Council Kisra-Sumei (usually called Kisra-Sami'a) is
situated in a mountain area of the Western Galilee region, south
of Ma'alot. It was founded in 1991 by
joining two villages following the disolvement of Regional
Council Merkaz HaGalil (Central Galilee). Pop. 5200 of which 80%
Druze, 18% Christians and 2% Muslims.
I was told that in case a flag is needed an emblem on white is
used. When I visited Kisra-Sumei on 19 September 2001 no flag was
spotted. The municipal emblem was published in the official
gazette (Rashumot, Yalkut HaPirsumim), YP 4558, 17
August 1997.
When I re-visited Kisra-Sumei on 8 October 2001 the flag was
hanging proudly above the city hall, together with the national and Druze
flags. It is indeed a blue monochrome emblem on a white flag with
blue borders.

This Local Council is a unification of two Druze villages
which are about 4 km apart. Not much is known of the origin of
both villages. It is presumed that Kisra got is name from the
Persian King Xerxes or come from castle (or czstler). The Druze
probably arrived from Lebanon during the Ottoman era and British
mandate.
Sumei was a very small village with 400 souls during the Mandate
era and its has similar background. Together they have a population
of 6000.
