The number of Israelis who left the country for three months or more in 2025 continues the trend of record numbers of emigrants. 90,922 Israelis left during last year, following a similar number in of 2024 - 91,499 - and a slightly lower number in 2023 - 86,509. In 2024-2025, Israel had a negative migration balance for the first time in decades, that is to say, more people left than arrived. Data on the number of Israelis who left for twelve months or more, as measured by the group in previous studies, are also lacking. Weinreb also points out that it is not just in Israel that there is an acceleration in emigration of people with higher education.
