The year that was - Summing up 2024 in Netanya

Last year essentially began on the seventh of October, and since then so much has changed

​Bereavement met beautiful young people who came to celebrate life, but we also discovered how wonderful our nation is – the resilience, the volunteering, and the clear understanding that “we don’t have another land.” 

We have chosen to share with you the prominent events each month in the year which has drawn to a close.

January 2024 – Netanya was crowned first place in Israel regarding the number of building permits in pinui binui projects, with 1,378 housing units authorized for construction.
