A record 145,900 Israelis have left since 2020, with departures outpacing returns, sparking national alarm.

A Knesset report reveals a record net loss of 145,900 Israelis since 2020, with departures outpacing returns, especially after the 2023 Gaza war. In 2024, about 50,000 left by August, while returns dropped to 12,100. The exodus, driven by conflict and government policies, has alarmed lawmakers, with committee chair Gilad Kariv warning of a "tsunami" threatening national stability and Zionist values, yet no government plan exists to address the trend.
