Over 70,000 active reservists are among the 350,000 students beginning the academic year in Israel, leading to significant academic emigration. Nearly 30% of students who have participated in army reserve duty intend to leave the country after graduation, citing immense physical and financial strain. Unlike their international peers, Israeli students, often over 23, juggle studies, military service, bills, and family responsibilities. Surveys reveal high burnout rates: 64% of those returning from the front experience personal and social difficulties readjusting to studies, 70% face constant financial stress, and 25% have sought psychological help. To address this, the student union has established 22 resilience centers on campuses. Student activists are now demanding 50 million shekels from the government for academic support and a national program to aid the affected generation. Separately, recent years have seen shifts in immigration to Israel, particularly from Russian-speaking countries. While around 25,500 immigrants arrived in 2021, this number surged to a record 74,700 in 2022 following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The influx later decreased, with new immigrants also arriving from the US, France, Canada, and the UK. This new wave sparked debates between long-term residents and newcomers over living standards, with high prices, rent, and language barriers complicating adaptation. Some immigrants relocated to Europe or America, while others returned to their home countries. Those who remained have contributed to Israeli society, the military, and the high-tech sector.
