Yizre'el Valley Natural Region

The natural region contains most of the Jezreel Valley, a wide, low agricultural valley drained by the Kishon River. It is adjacent to the West Bank. The largest city is Afula, containing 64 percent of the natural region's population. There are no other towns in the natural region with more than 5,000 inhabitants.

Jews constitute a large majority of the population, at 89 percent. 9 percent of the population is Arab, concentrated in the towns of Muqeible, Sulam, and Ed-Dahi.

In the 2022 election, 55 percent of voters in the natural region voted for the parties of the right-wing coalition led by Benjamin Netanyahu, while 40 percent voted for the parties of the center-left coalition led by Yair Lapid and 5 percent voted for the Arab parties.^[4]
