Israel Faces a Growing Emigration Wave as 270k Israelis Leave Since 2023
TL;DR
A Tel Aviv University study using Central Bureau of Statistics data finds 268,930 Israelis left Israel for three or more months between 2023 and 2025, with about 90,000 leaving in 2025 alone. MK Gilad Kariv calls this an emigration 'tsunami' and warns it could threaten Israel’s economy and security, urging a multi-year government plan. Researchers note the trend could worsen, and a longer 12-month departure index (not yet published, expected 2027) could push 2025’s figure to roughly 45,000–50,000 for a year or more.
