‘TWICE AS MANY ISRAELIS MIGRATING IN 2024’: ISRAEL MEDIA

Sun 13 October 2024:

Israeli data revealed a sharp increase in immigration from Israel abroad since the beginning of the year, reaching a level three times more than the immigration rates prior to the war.

Israel’s Maariv newspaper reported that the first seven months of the year witnessed the immigration of 40,000 Israelis, equivalent to three times the immigration rates before the war, as 2,000 more people immigrate monthly than the rates from previous years.

Moreover, nearly one million Israelis have obtained foreign passports in recent years as an insurance policy in the event of a comprehensive war.

Regarding financial transfers abroad, the newspaper reported that Israelis transferred $7 billion abroad in deposits during the first seven months.

The newspaper also described this as a “brain drain”, as the immigrants included doctors, scientists, pharmacists and high-tech experts after being presented with attractive offers to work for foreign companies.

The ongoing conflict in Israel has led to a rise in migration, as many Israelis are seeking safety and stability in other countries. Escalating violence and the uncertainty of war have driven individuals and families to explore life beyond their homeland.

Frequent rocket attacks, military operations, and civil unrest have made daily life dangerous for many Israelis. The psychological toll of living under constant threat, coupled with concerns for children’s safety and future prospects, has prompted many to consider relocating to countries with greater security.

Countries like the United States, Canada, Germany, and the United Kingdom have become popular migration destinations for Israelis. These countries offer economic stability, robust healthcare systems, and opportunities for education, making them attractive alternatives for those fleeing conflict.

Many Israelis hold dual citizenship, especially in Europe or North America, making the migration process smoother. Global connections, such as family ties or job opportunities abroad, have also facilitated the move for some.
