The number of Israelis leaving the country has surged by tens of percent since 2023, while the number of returnees has decreased, according to a report. Researchers are warning of a collapse in the Israeli economy if this emigration trend continues. This is the fourth installment in a series of articles titled "This is What the Elections Are About."
Seven years ago, when Benjamin Netanyahu celebrated his 70th birthday, one of his well-wishers was Mei Golan, then a Knesset member and now the Minister for Social Equality. Golan solemnly informed him that masses of Israelis would leave the country if he were not prime minister. "Young people in Israel do not see their future and that of their children in the country if you do not continue to lead it," she told Netanyahu.
