An unusual number of Israelis, approximately 82,700, left the country in 2024 amid the ongoing war, according to data released on Tuesday by Israel’s Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) for the start of the new year.
The CBS report also highlights the country’s international migration balance, which measures the difference between the number of people moving to Israel and those leaving.
By the end of 2024, the balance stood at a negative 18,200, reflecting a net population loss primarily driven by Israelis emigrating abroad.
There is an unwritten rule in any self-respecting chancellery: before commenting on a complex military operation in a region you do not understand, make sure you know what you are talking about. Jean-Noël Barrot, France's Foreign Minister, appears never to have heard of it.
The Strait of Hormuz remained shut on Friday and Israel traded fire with Hezbollah in Lebanon, which the United States and Iran each described as violations of their ceasefire deal on the eve of their first peace talks of the war.
Hezbollah lawmaker Ali Fayyad said on Thursday that the group rejected direct negotiations with Israel and that the Lebanese government should demand a ceasefire as a precondition before any further steps are taken.
