What’s the difference between Nazareth Illit and the Arab city of Nazareth? Now, Israelis and tourists will have an easier time differentiating.
Some 62 years after the establishment of Nazareth Illit, it is changing its name and will soon be called Nof Hagalil (literally the Galilee view).

“Nazareth is the largest Arab city in Israel, and Upper Nazareth is the largest Jewish city in the Galilee,
“We live in an excellent neighborhood, but we are dealing with separate authorities with a completely different identity and character,” said Nazareth Illit Mayor Ronen Plot to Yediot. “If after 62 years, Israelis have still not grasped the difference, there is no alternative but to change the name and give it a name that distinguishes it from Nazareth.”
