Significant increase in the number of Israelis leaving the country for long periods
A new study recently published presents alarming data regarding the trend of citizens leaving Israel in recent years. According to the findings, between the years 2023 and 2025, approximately 270,000 people left the country for a period of at least three consecutive months.
The data indicates a sharp increase compared to previous years. This represents an addition of about 86,000 people who left Israel for an extended period, compared to numbers recorded in the past. This is an increase of almost 50 percent in the number of people choosing to stay outside the country's borders for a prolonged time.
The study examines departures from Israel that are not defined as short trips, but rather as extended stays abroad. The rise in these numbers is sparking a broad public debate regarding the reasons that led many citizens to make the decision to leave the country for a long period.
The experts who conducted the study note that the data reflects a significant change in population behavior. Now, official entities and research institutions will need to examine in depth the effects of this trend on society and the economy in Israel in the coming years.
