Batumi, Georgia

As part of the municipal activity for the encouragement of foreign relations, the Netanya Municipality signed a twin city alliance on May 22, 2018 with the city of Batumi, Georgia.
The agreement was signed by the mayor of Batumi, Lasha Komakhidze, and Netanya Mayor Miriam Fierberg Ikar.
This alliance was born thanks to the similarity between the two cities which are characterized as tourist, resort and recreation cities following the proposal of the Georgian ambassador to Israel, Pataa Kalandadze.
