Nearly 270,000 Israelis left the country between 2023 and 2025, marking the highest emigration levels on record, according to Israeli media, as Tel Aviv's genocidal war on Palestine's Gaza and military offensives across the region continue well into 2026.

The findings, published on August 3 by researchers at Tel Aviv University, show that around 90,000 Israelis left each year on average during the three-year period, up from roughly 60,000 annually between 2010 and 2019.

Researchers warned that if the trend continues, the growing wave of long-term departures could threaten Israel's economy and security.
