Barnet Council is exploring a potential twinning relationship with the Israeli city of Haifa, focusing on healthcare, education, and interfaith ties.

Barnet Council decided in October 2026 to explore a potential twinning relationship with the Israeli city of Haifa. This initiative aims to foster cooperation in healthcare, education, and interfaith best practices, which are formal agreements between municipalities to promote cultural and economic ties.

The exploration will involve discussions on potential links between healthcare organisations and higher education institutions in both locations. The council also plans to share best practices in interfaith dialogue, engaging faith leaders and community groups.
