Article · Français
Netivot (en hébreu :נְתִיבוֹת, voies) est une ville d'Israël, située dans le district sud. Fondée en 1956, elle comptait 35 631 habitants en 2018. Netivot est l'une des villes bombardées par le Hamas depuis la Bande de Gaza, en particulier pendant la Guerre de Gaza 2008-2009. En plus du problème des roquettes, Netivot est une ville qui doit faire face à de grosses difficultés économiques et sociales : Netivot fait partie de ces« villes de développement » implantées au milieu de nulle part, sans réelle perspective de développement économique, où on a envoyé les immigrants les plus pauvres, venus du Maroc, puis d’ex-URSS et d’Éthiopie. Ces villes ont un taux de chômage nettement supérieur à la moyenne nationale. Elles comptent 40 % des chômeurs du pays pour seulement de 17 % de la population. Beaucoup d’enfants vivent en dessous du seuil de pauvreté. Néanmoins, Netivot s'est nettement développée depuis l'arrivée de ses premiers pionniers, il y a environ 50 ans. La ville s'est agrandie, d'un point de vue culturel également. Elle compte aujourd'hui un conservatoire ainsi qu'une école de musique ; plusieurs écoles, ainsi que des écoles d'études supérieures. De nombreux magasins, qui se transforment en centre commerciaux y voient également régulièrement le jour.
