This is mostly a fake. The CBS does or did, for statistical purposes, classify in some of its publication settlements as Jewish locality (majority of residents Jewish) or Non-Newish locality (all other settlements). In some tables, like the 2012 pdf in the article there are "not-Jewish 2000-4,999 residents" (יישוב לא-יהודי 2000-4999 תושבים), "other rural settlement, not Jewish", "Jewish 2000-4,999 residents" (יישוב יהודי 2000-4999 תושבים), "Jewish settlements 5000-9999 residents (" ישוב יהודי 000,5-999,9 תושבים"), "Insitutional settlement, Jewish" ("יישוב מוסדי, יהוד"). The Jewish / not-Jewish label is only added to categories in which the ethnicity is not obvious, as Moshavim and Kibbutzim for instance are all majority Jewish. This is not a form of government in Israel. In addition, there are many more than 32 settlements classified by the CBS as majority Jewish, as most settlements in Israel are Jewish. The 2012 PDF linked to has statistics only for settlements included in regional councils, which excludes all larger settlement types such as cities and most local councils, since regional councils only aggregate smaller settlements. The CBS Jewish locality or not-Jewish locality is only a straightforward statistical designation based on being majority Jewish or not Jewish, it is statistical terminlogy, glossary, or dictionary, not a type of settlement. Each of these settlements uses a standard Israeli local government form. חוקרת (Researcher) (talk) 11:04, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Editors that can read Hebrew, can see the current CBS methodology at the intro to יישובים בישראל- קובצי יישובים, 2020-2003. The religious field, Jewish or non-Jewish by majority of inhabitants, is defined in clause 3. The CBS's settlement type breakdown is orthogonal to religion and is in clause 5, it is also a non-official classification and writes so at the beginning of the clause: ""צורת יישוב צורת היישוב נקבעה, ככל האפשר, לפי המצב בפועל ולפי ההגדרות שלהלן. אין - בקביעה זו כדי להשליך על מעמדו של יישוב על פי דין."חוקרת (Researcher) (talk) 12:36, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. This is a technical (hybrid) classification, not a substantial classification such as kibbutz, moshav, town, city, etc. It rehashes subject matter also covered elsewhere. gidonb (talk) 14:08, 13 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete, this is just a statistical definition of a place with more than 50% Jews.--CZUQZ (talk) 07:31, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
