Record number of Israelis leaving and not returning since 2020, Knesset report says

The chair of the parliamentary committee on immigration described the trend of departures as a 'tsunami'

Record numbers of Israelis have left the country since 2020, with policymakers enjoying little success in stemming the outflow over the past five years. A report released by the Israeli parliament, the Knesset, has alarmed politicians who fear the impact of a declining Jewish population in the state. The Knesset’s Research and Information Center (RIC) said between 2020 and 2024, some 145,900 more Israelis left the country for the long term than returned. In 2020, 34,000 Israelis left the country for extended periods, followed by 43,400 in 2021, while 32,500 and 23,600 returned in those respective years. There was a sharp jump in long‑term departures in 2022 and 2023, with 59,400 Israelis leaving in 2022 and 82,800 in 2023 – a surge partly linked to the start of the Gaza war in October that year.
