2005–06 Liga Bet

The 2005–06 Liga Bet season saw Beitar Safed (champions of the North A division), Hapoel Ahva Haifa (champions of the North B division), Maccabi Amishav Petah Tikva (champions of the South A division) and Hapoel Maxim Lod (champions of the South B division) win their regional divisions and promoted to Liga Alef.

The runners-up in each division entered a promotion/relegation play-offs with the clubs ranked 12th in Liga Alef. In the north section, Beitar Haifa (from North B division) won the play-offs and was promoted. In the south section, Ironi Ramla (from South B division) won the play-offs and was promoted.

Maccabi Kiryat Malakhi, which finished third in the South B division, was also promoted to Liga Alef, after a vacancy was created in the South division, following the merger of Beitar Kiryat Gat and Maccabi Kiryat Gat.^[1]

At the bottom, Beitar Jaffa, A.S. Holon (from South A division) and Maccabi Yehud (from South B division) were all relegated to Liga Gimel, whilst Hapoel Ironi I'billin (from North A division) and Hapoel Kafr Misr/Nein (from South A division) folded during the season. However, Hapoel Deir Hanna (from North B division), Maccabi Daliyat al-Karmel (from North B division) and Hapoel Bnei Lakhish (from South B division), which finished in the relegation zone, were all reprieved from relegation, after several vacancies were created in Liga Bet for the 2006–07 season, mostly due to withdrawals and mergers of clubs.
