Israel is witnessing a historic surge in emigration as the Gaza conflict and domestic political tensions drive citizens abroad. A Knesset report reveals 125,000 Israelis left since 2022, with 82,700 departing in 2023 alone—a 50% increase from the previous year. Young, highly educated adults aged 20–39 comprise 40% of emigrants, seeking stability and economic opportunities. Lawmakers warn of a “tsunami” of departures and urge government measures to encourage Israelis abroad to return and stay long term.
