Zemer (Hebrew: זמר; Arabic: زيمر) is an Arab local council in the Center District of Israel. It is located in the Arab Triangle area, between Baqa-Jatt and Bat Hefer on Road 574. Zemer is the result of a merger of four villages – Yama, Bir as-Sika, Ibtan and Marja - in 1988
Yama and Ibtan appeared in Ottoman tax registers compiled in 1596, in the Nahiyas of Qaqun and Jabal Sami, respectively, of the Nablus Liwa. Yama had a population of 18 Muslim households and 5 bachelors, while Ibtan was indicated as empty even though it paid taxes.[2]
Prior to 1948, all four villages were administratively related to modern-day Palestinian town of Deir al-Ghusun.[3]
Zemer's population at the end of 2009 was 5,700,[1] and its jurisdiction is 8,203 dunams.[4]
