Quarter of Israelis Thought of Leaving in 2024

A quarter of Israelis thought about leaving the Zionist entity in 2024 according a latest Israeli study published on Friday.

“A new study confirmed that about a quarter of Israelis thought about leaving over the past year, against the backdrop of the deteriorating security situation in the country,” the Israeli Walla website reported.

The study by the Israeli Rubin Academic Center, stated “there is a relationship between the feeling of personal security and the desire to immigrate.”

About 31% of the participants in the study believe the security situation is the main factor in thinking about leaving, according to the same website.

While 46% of Israelis view those who plan to leave the entity negatively, the study shows that 24% of Israelis actually thought about leaving the entity in the past year, compared to only 18% two years ago.

The Hebrew website pointed out that the study was presented at a conference by the Ministry of Absorption and Immigration in coordination with the Rubin Academic Center, to discuss the impact of the security and economic situation on the desire of Israelis to leave the country.

Data from the new study showed that “more than a third of Israelis are thinking about leaving Israel due to various factors, most notably the security situation at 31%, and the economic situation at (28%).

While 40% of the study participants believed they would remain in the entity, claiming it is the “national homeland of the Jewish people,” 21% believe their proximity to family was a major factor in their decision to remain according to Jo24.
