Israel Sees 20,000 New Immigrants Amid Rise from Western Nations
Summarized from The Times of Israel by baba
Israel welcomed approximately 20,000 new immigrants in the past year, a slight decrease from the previous year, primarily due to a sharp decline in arrivals from Russia. However, immigration from Western countries, including France, the US, and the UK, saw significant increases, which the ministry attributes to rising antisemitism and post-October 7th Jewish identity.
