Striking numbers regarding the number of Israelis who left the occupying state during 2024.

The government statistics center, affiliated with the occupying state, revealed the number of Israelis who left the occupied Palestinian territories during the past year, in light of the ongoing war in Gaza, the brief confrontation with Iran, and developments in the region.

The center stated in a report on Wednesday, on the occasion of the upcoming Hebrew New Year next Monday, that 79,000 Israelis left in 2024, at a time when the occupying state is experiencing unprecedented conditions amid its aggression against the occupied Palestinian territories and regional countries.

The office said: "With the arrival of the Hebrew New Year, the population of Israel is estimated to be around 10 million and 148 thousand people." It added: "Among them are about 7 million and 758 thousand Jews (78.5 percent), approximately 2 million and 130 thousand Arabs (21.5 percent), and about 260 thousand foreigners."

This census includes about 400 thousand Palestinians in East Jerusalem, which Israel occupied in 1967 and annexed in 1980, a move not recognized by the United Nations.

The report indicated that "since the last Hebrew New Year, the population of Israel has increased by about 101 thousand people, with a population growth rate of 1.0 percent."

It continued: "During the past year (2024), about 179 thousand children were born in Israel, and around 50 thousand people died."

Meanwhile, "approximately 25 thousand new immigrants arrived in Israel and about 5 thousand immigrants under a family reunification program," according to the statement.

The statistics office added: "In addition, about 21 thousand Israelis who had emigrated abroad returned to Israel, while around 79 thousand Israelis left."

In 2023, about 55 thousand and 300 Israelis emigrated from the country, while 27 thousand chose to return or immigrate to it, according to the statistics office in September 2024.

Year after year, the occupying state is noticeably transforming into a population-expelling environment, as the number of those leaving exceeds those immigrating to it.

The occupying state is experiencing suffocating economic conditions and deep political divisions, amid the repercussions of the genocide war it is waging with American support against the Gaza Strip, in addition to its aggression in the West Bank.

It also launched a war on Iran last June and is conducting airstrikes on Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen, in addition to a failed airstrike aimed at assassinating leaders of the "Hamas" movement in Qatar last week.
