JERUSALEM (JNS) – The population of Israel is just over 9.5 million people ahead of the Jewish New Year, according to data issued by Israel’s Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) on Tuesday.
The country has a population of 9.593 million people, according to the CBS. 7.069 million (74%) identify as Jewish, 2.026 million (21%) as Arab and 498,000 (5%) as neither.
The bureau states that the Israeli population will reach 10 million by 2024, 15 million by 2048 and 20 million by the end of 2065.
Jews in Israel who are at least 20-years-old are identified as 45.3% secular, 19.2% traditional, 13.9% traditional-religious, 10.7% religious and 10.5% Haredi.
Average life expectancy for Israeli men is 80.5 years compared to 84.6 years for women.
According to the data, 177,000 babies were born in Israel this year; 49,000 people made aliyah; and 2,000 Israelis returned to Israel after living abroad.
Some of the our chevra that are always attacking Israel, should leave and find another place to live. Let them at least make room for those Jews that love Israel. Makes Sense??
ה׳ אֱלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתֵכֶם יֹסֵף עֲלֵיכֶם כָּכֶם אֶלֶף פְּעָמִים וִיבָרֵךְ אֶתְכֶם כַּאֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר לָכֶם.
Cool.
Sounds like Paul’s concern about the Arab population in Israel outgrowing the Jewish one is a non starter
“Identify” as jews like the 40,000 cossacks that moved there since the war in Ukraine started. The zionists consider u jewish if you have 1 jewish grandfather
