==History==

[[File:Karmiel view from the Family park.JPG|thumb|Galil Quarter]]
In 1956, about {{convert|1275|acre|km2}} of land in the area that is now Karmiel, owned by residents of the nearby Israeli Arab villages of [[Deir al-Asad]], [[Bi'ina]] and [[Nahf]], were declared "closed areas"{{dubious |Weasel words, meaning what? |date= July 2024}} by Israeli authorities. This area, near the main road between Acre and Safed, had been an important marble{{dubious |There is NO marble in Israel Limestone? |date= July 2024}} quarrying site. In 1961, the Israeli authorities expropriated the land to build Karmiel. The villagers were offered "equally good land" in the area, but when [[Moshe Sneh]] ([[Maki (historical political party)|Maki]]) and [[Yusef Khamis]] ([[Mapam]]) brought the case to the [[Knesset]] on behalf of the villagers, the Knesset established that there was no such land.<ref>Knesset debate, 31 Jan. 1962, page 1126-30, cited in Jiryis.</ref> According to the [[Haredi]] newspaper ''She'arim'', about {{convert|10|km2|mi2}} (394 lots) were confiscated by a court order on 4 March 1963, at the request of the [[Israel Development Authority]]{{clarify |Was there such a thing, or is the Israel Land Authority (see art.) meant? |date= July 2024}}. However, the land was rocky, uninhabited and unfit for agriculture.<ref name= shearim>{{cite news |title= Removal Order for 10,000 Dunams Required to Construct Karmiel Given |publisher= She'arim |date=5 March 1963 |lang= he}}</ref>{{clarify |Was in the end NO compensation given? If there was: what? |date= July 2024}}
In 1964, when local Arabs applied for permission to move into the town, Minister of Housing [[Yosef Almogi]] replied that "Karmiel was not built to solve the problems for the people in the surrounding area."<ref>Knesset debate, 2 Dec. 1964, page 486, cited in Jiryis</ref> In February 1965, 400 protesters marched from [[Tel Aviv]] to protest against "discrimination of a group of our citizens". Representatives went to a local police station, informing the police that they were staying in the area without permission. Eventually, the perceived leaders were arrested and tried before a military tribunal.<ref>Maariv, 14 Feb., 1965, cited in Jiryis</ref>
Karmiel was one of the first cities in Israel to be established according to an urban master plan.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.jewishagency.org/JewishAgency/English/Home/Gallery3/About+Israel/Cities/Karmiel+6.htm|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130415041628/http://www.jewishagency.org/JewishAgency/English/Home/Gallery3/About+Israel/Cities/Karmiel+6.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=April 15, 2013|title=Karmiel|publisher=[[Jewish Agency for Israel]]|access-date=August 24, 2012}}</ref> It was built as part of the Central Galilee Development Project.

In 1981, Karmiel was awarded the Beautiful Israel prize and the Kaplan Prize for Management and Services. Karmiel achieved city status on November 20, 1986. The first mayor was Baruch Venger, followed by Adi Eldar, who has remained in this position until Moshe Kuninsky took his place in 2018.{{citation needed|date=April 2022}}

==Demographics==
[[File:Karmiel Ramat-Rabin district September 2006.jpg|thumb|Ramat Rabin neighborhood]]
{{As of|2007}}, the city encompasses an area of about 24 km<sup>2</sup> with a population of about 50,000 residents, approximately 40% of whom are immigrants from 75 countries. The city also receives significant internal migration of [[Haredi Judaism |Haredi]] families. Since 1990, 16,000 immigrants have arrived in Karmiel, the majority of whom are from the [[former Soviet Union]]. According to the national master plan, by 2020 Karmiel will have a population of approximately 120,000 residents. Since 1980, six new neighborhoods have been developed and populated. A technical college has been serving the community since 1989. {{As of|2016}}, work is underway to create a further neighborhood on Mount Karmi on Karmiel's western fringe. In 2022 Karmiel had a population of 47,317, of which 77.6% were Jewish, 2.8% were Muslim, 0.8% were Christian, 0.5% were Druze and 18.3% of the population was counted as other.<ref>{{Cite web |title=כרמיאל |url=https://www.cbs.gov.il/he/publications/DocLib/2024/local_authorities22_1957/%D7%9B%D7%A8%D7%9E%D7%99%D7%90%D7%9C.pdf |access-date=15 July 2025 |website=[[Israel Central Bureau of Statistics|Central Bureau of Statistics]]}}</ref>
===Integration of Russian-speakers===
"Nitzotz-Machanaiym" is a [[Religious Zionist]] community center which caters to the Russian-speaking population of Karmiel. It is one of a number of similar centers in Israel which operate in the framework of the [[Machanaim| Machanaiym]] "Communities" project. Rabbi Eli Talberg is the director of Natzotz-Machanyim, which is located on the first floor of "Kikar Ha'Ir" (often called "The Old Mall"). Activities include a [[beit midrash]], [[Conversion to Judaism| conversion]] classes, [[ulpan| Hebrew classes]], a youth club, a women's club, and additional workshops and activities for all ages. The community also organizes regular educational tours throughout Israel and participates in sporting and social events with other branches of the Communities project.<ref>{{cite web |title= Nitzotz-Machanayim community |url=http://iskrael.org/}}</ref>
===Arab residents===
According to [[The Times of Israel]], as of 2020, Israeli Arabs "...now constitute around six percent of Karmiel's population - around 2,760 people..."
<ref name= ToI20>{{Cite web |title= 'Carmiel is a Jewish city,' court tells Arab students seeking transportation |website= Aaron Boxerman for [[The Times of Israel]] |date= 30 November 2020 |url=https://www.timesofisrael.com/carmiel-is-a-jewish-city-court-tells-arab-students-seeking-transportation/ |access-date=3 July 2024}}</ref> The Israel Democracy Institute report of 2018, as quoted in The Times of Israel, suggests Karmiel is one of a number of cities 'in the process of being mixed', and reflects the upward mobility of some Arab Israelis, who seek to move into predominantly Jewish towns and cities, which do not suffer from a lack of government planning and construction.<ref name= ToI20/>
==Local government==
[[File:Karmiel city hall.jpg|thumb|Karmiel City Hall]]
The local government is the Municipality of Karmiel, which is responsible for all the municipal matters regarding the City. Adam Tal was the first official head of the group that founded Karmiel in 1964. Avraham Argov replaced him and was himself replaced in 1968 by Baruch Venger, who headed the municipality of Karmiel until his death in office on November 22, 1988.<ref>[http://carmiel.co.il/2009/animated-map-of-karmiel Animated map of Karmiel] {{dead link|date=October 2013}}</ref> His successor was Adi Eldar, who was re-elected several times.<ref name="muni history" /> In November 2018, Moshe Kuninsky was elected Mayor of Karmiel.
==Education==
Karmiel has four high schools, four junior high schools, a vocational training center, nine state-run elementary schools, one state-run religious school (including high school), an independent education elementary school, a school for gifted children and an educational farm, many kindergartens, nursery schools and daycare centers, as well as a network of community youth and sports centers and the international [[ORT Braude College of Engineering]] with a student body of 3,500 studying computers, electronics, industrial administration, biotechnology and other subjects. A biotechnology research and development center will also open at the college.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.world66.com/asia/middleeast/israel/karmiel |title=Karmiel Travel Guide |publisher=World66 |access-date=2008-10-20 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111221235708/http://www.world66.com/asia/middleeast/israel/karmiel |archive-date=2011-12-21 |url-status=dead }}</ref> However, despite a gradual increase in the Arab-Israeli population of Karmiel (c. six percent as of 2020), there is no Arabic-speaking school.
In November 2020, Krayot Magistrate's Court dismissed a lawsuit brought by Attorney Nizar Bakri on behalf of his two [[Arab Israeli]] nephews, alleging their right to education in Karmiel had been infringed by the municipality's failure to provide transport to and from Arabic-language schools outside the town. In his ruling the judge said that Karmiel was a Jewish city and Arabic-language schools could change its demographic balance and character. This ruling was based on [[Basic Law: Israel as the Nation-State of the Jewish People]], which states that "the right to exercise national self-determination in the State of Israel is unique to the Jewish people." Critics say the law constitutionally enshrines Jewish supremacy and ethno-religious discrimination in Israel's Basic Law and relegates the Arab minority to an inferior status.<ref name= ToI20/>
==Health care==
In 2011, a Terem emergency care clinic was opened in Karmiel. The clinic is under the medical management of Dr. Walid Assadi and is open seven days a week, including Sabbath and holidays.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.terem.com/en/news/14-%D7%A0%D7%95%D7%91%D7%9E%D7%91%D7%A8-2012/new-terem-clinic-karmiel|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131224110240/http://www.terem.com/en/news/14-%D7%A0%D7%95%D7%91%D7%9E%D7%91%D7%A8-2012/new-terem-clinic-karmiel |url-status=dead |title=New Terem clinic in Karmiel|archive-date=December 24, 2013}}</ref> Israel's four national health funds all maintain clinics in the city.

===Dance festival===
[[File:Karmiel Dance Festival (22).JPG|thumb|[[Karmiel Dance Festival]]]]
The city is known for the [[Karmiel Dance Festival]], a yearly event since 1988. The festival is usually held for 3 days and nights in July, and includes dance performances, workshops, and open dance sessions.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.ajn.com.au/news/news.asp?pgID=5976 |title=Assie Duo Dances for Peace in Karmiel |publisher=Australian Jewish News |date=2008-08-04 |access-date=2008-10-20 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080913065108/http://www.ajn.com.au/news/news.asp?pgID=5976 |archive-date=September 13, 2008 }}</ref> The festival began as a celebration of Israeli folk dance, but today it features many different dance forms from all around the globe, and attracts thousands of dancers and hundreds of thousands of spectators from many countries.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.karmielfestival.co.il|title=Karmiel Dance Festival|access-date=2008-10-20}}</ref>

==Environmental protection==
[[File:Karmiel Industrial area.jpg|thumb|Karmiel Industrial area]]
Karmiel was the first Israeli city to receive ISO 9002 certification for the quality of its services. It is one of the few Israeli cities with ISO 1410 certification for environmental standards.
Karmiel has enacted by-laws to protect the environment and prevent pollution, and become a center for clean industries and advanced technology enterprises that abide by these standards.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.karmiel.biz/en.asp|title=Karmiel Electronic Company Ltd.|publisher=Karmiel Economic Company|access-date=2008-10-20|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080907210900/http://www.karmiel.biz/en.asp|archive-date=2008-09-07}}</ref>
==Parks and gardens==
[[File:PikiWiki Israel 44102 CARMIEL.JPG|thumb|Karmiel Quarries Park]]
The Holocaust Memorial Park is located at the entrance to the city. The bronze sculptures were made by Jewish sculptor and artist [[Nicky Imber]] (1920-1996). The sculptures are separated into three groups: Holocaust, wondering and hope; which represent the story of the Jewish people from the time of the Holocaust to the return to the holy land.<ref>[http://www.nicky-imber.com/display.html Holocaust Memorial Park] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130927133420/http://nicky-imber.com/display.html |date=2013-09-27 }}</ref>
The Karmiel Quarries Park is a 12.4-acre park developed on the site of a defunct limestone quarry. One section of the park is a sculpture garden. An amphitheater on the grounds of the park hosts local events and incorporates a drainage system that collects rainfall which is later used for watering greenery.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.jpost.com/enviro-tech/abandoned-quarries-being-transformed-into-parks|title=Abandoned quarries being transformed into parks|website=The Jerusalem Post | JPost.com|date=16 February 2013 }}</ref>
