Jerusalem, 11 November, 2026 (TPS-IL) — Israel’s Ministry of Interior and the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) have signed a landmark Memorandum of Understanding to establish a unified data infrastructure for local government administration.
Signed by Interior Ministry Director General Israel Ozan and National Statistician Prof. Yaron Flus, the accord formalizes structured data sharing, feeding municipal analytics directly into the national government data lake. The initiative powers the ministry’s flagship “Authority 360” project, introducing standardized municipal identity profiles and national benchmarks, including fiscal capacity metrics and administrative integrity indices.
Developed alongside the National Digital Directorate, the data-driven framework aims to enhance operational oversight, optimize resource allocation, and improve public service delivery across all Israeli local authorities.
