Overview
- Official CBS data show 1.1% growth in 2025 to 10.178 million residents, with 182,000 births and about 50,000 deaths driving a net increase of 112,000.
- Migration was negative for a second year, with roughly 69,300 departures, 19,000 returns, 24,600 new immigrants and 5,500 family reunifications, yielding an estimated net loss near 20,000.
- A Taub Center report released the same day estimates overall growth at 0.9%, the lowest since statehood, and projects a steeper 2025 migration deficit of around 37,000.
- The analysis finds fertility declining across most groups and identifies especially high remigration rates among non–native-born residents not Jewish according to halacha.
- Researchers foresee a sharp rise in annual deaths by 2040 due to aging cohorts, and analysts link recent emigration and softer inflows to the Gaza war and domestic political tensions.
