Israel’s population topped 10 million in 2024, according to the Central Bureau of Statistics, but the year also saw an unusually large number of Israelis moving abroad — 82,700.
Israel’s population stands at 10.027 million at the end of 2024, including 7.7 million Jews, 2.1 million Arab Israelis and 216,000 foreigners.
Population growth declined to 1.1% from 1.6 percent in 2023, largely due to the increased numbers of Israelis who left, the CBS says.
Amid the war 23,8000 Israelis returned home and 32,800 new immigrants arrived.
The number of new immigrants was down some 15,000 from 2023.
The year saw the birth of 181,000 children, while 51,400 people died.
