Ma'ale Adummim (biblical name from Joshua 9) is situated 7 km east of Jerusalem on the Jerusalem-Dead Sea road. Est. 1975, a municipality since October 1991. 25'000 inh. Mrs. Aliza Aharonson, director of municipal information centre, wrote me on 28 October as follows:

1. The municipality has an official flag.
2. Geographically speaking, the municipality is situated behind the "green line" [1967 border] and therefore it is not obligated to publish it in the Rashumot [official gazette] for protection of the symbols ["not obligated" is not entirely correct, there is no obligation to register symbols].
3. Description of the flag [I guess she refers to the emblem]: the Salt Sea [i.e. Dead Sea], Jerusalem walls and Judea Mounts. The flag is consistent with the logo on the municipality stationary in the upper left side of the letter.
4. Enclosed small flag [desk flag].

The emblem on the stationary (as well in the municipal homepage) is in blue-red colours. However, on the desk flag it appears in blue-green-gold.

The emblem of Ma'ale Adummim has not been formally adopted. Israeli municipalities in areas occupied since 1967 cannot register their emblems*. 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.

The flag in green with emblem on white patch is seen at many photos at www.amit.org.il [retrieved | example]. However, I am not sure at all that it is the only color used ...
