Around 268,000 Israelis left country over past 3 years, study shows
The study found emigration stayed near record levels, with 90,922 Israelis leaving in 2025, compared with 91,499 in 2024, researchers said.
- On Monday, Tel Aviv University researchers published a study showing over 90,000 Israelis left the country in 2025 for three or more consecutive months, continuing a record-setting emigration trend.
- Between 2023 and 2025, 268,930 citizens departed for three-month trips, far exceeding the roughly 60,000 annual average recorded throughout the 2010-2019 decade in Israel.
- Prof. Itai Ater, a lead study author, warned that the exodus of doctors, academics, and tech workers poses a "severe blow" to industries and threatens Israel's economy, which relies on high-tech and medical services.
- Immigration, Absorption and Diaspora Affairs Committee Chair MK Gilad Kariv warned Monday that Israel faces an emigration "tsunami," labeling the trend a "strategic threat" linked to government conduct.
- Although current figures do not yet pose an immediate danger to national resilience, Ater cautioned that the trend could escalate, potentially harming Israel's security and long-term economic stability.
