Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe growth rate of Israeli settlers living in the West Bank declined slightly, but remained above the national average, according to government statistics revealed to The Times of Israel on Sunday.
The number of Israelis living in the territory increased by 14,299 or 3.4 percent in 2017, demographics statistics gathered by the Interior Ministry’s Population Immigration and Border Authority showed.
In 2016, the population increased by 15,765 or 3.9%.
While the growth rate among Israeli settlers has not risen since 2012, the 3.4% figure from 2017 was still higher than the national average, which stood at 2% in the past year.
