The emblem of Alfei Menashe 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.

Alfe Menashe is a Local Council since 1986. Pop 5300 (2003). At the municipal website [http://muni.tik-tak.co.il, not archived] there are photos in which the flag is seen. It is a blue flag charged with the municipal emblem in white.
