CROSSFIREARABIA – A latest Tel Aviv University study shows the number of those leaving Israel is rocketing, stating the waves of migration starting in early 2023 and in 2025, reached unprecedented levels. The study warns that if this continues it will negatively affect the economy and security of the state, stating the number of Israelis departing in the first three months of 2025 was 90,922 persons compared to 91,499 in 2024 and 86,509 in 2023 which is shocking. The study also shows the number of those departing between 2023 and 2025 was around 270,000, a yearly average of 90,000. The figure was about 60,000 yearly between 2010 and 2019 except for 2013-2015 when those departing stood at 183,219 individuals. The authors of the study are alarmed, warning of a “point of collapse” in the light of the fact that doctors, engineers and academics and those with Phds are part of the professionals classes who are leaving Israel and are a lynchpin of its economy. The figures for 2026 will be out next year. See full article
