International Desk: Israelis are leaving the country without precedent. Taking with them their lifetime earnings, education and skills. About 40,600 people left Israel in the first seven months of this year. The main reason for this exodus of Israelis is mainly the two long-running wars in the south and north of the country.

Israel's Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) reported this information according to the report of the Israeli media Jerusalem Post. According to their data, 40,600 Israelis left the country in the first seven months of this year. That is 2,200 more than the average number of Israelis emigrating per month in 2023. According to CBS, the number of 'long-term immigrants' increased by 59 percent in the first seven months of 2023. That is, this amount of immigrants usually do not want to return to the country.

According to Israeli government data, a total of 55,400 people left the country in 2023. However, in the previous decade, an average of 37,000 Israelis left the country every year. In 2023, however, 28,000 Israelis returned to their country.

According to the Jerusalem Post, 39 percent of Israelis who emigrated in 2023 will live in the country's wealthiest districts, including Tel Aviv and other central areas. 28 percent of the emigrants are from the northern part of the country, including Haifa, and 15 percent are from the southern part of the country. In addition, 13 percent of the emigrants that year were residents of Jerusalem and 5 percent were residents of Judea-Samaria.

According to CBS data, the average age of men emigrating in 2023 was 31.6 years and the average age of women was 32.5 percent. 40 percent of the migrants are in the age group of 20-30 years. This means that Israel is losing significant manpower at an age—when most of them are entering the workforce, studying or receiving training abroad. Among the migrants, 48 ​​males and 45 females are single. This fact reinforces the idea that many have migrated permanently.

In 2023, 59 percent of persons without a country were born abroad and 41 percent were born in Israel. 80 percent of those born abroad are from Europe. Of these, 72 percent are from the former Soviet Union. But in terms of emigration, the rate of Arab Muslims and Christians is very low. Although Muslims and Christians make up 21.3 percent of Israel's population, they make up only 6.6.2 percent of the expatriate population.
