Aliyah Numbers 2024
As of 2024, Israel saw a significant wave of Aliyah, with over 31,000 new immigrants arriving from more than 100 countries, even amidst the recent conflict. The largest numbers came from Russia (approximately 20,000), followed by the United States and Canada (3,340 combined), France (1,820), and Ukraine (980). Immigration also saw notable contributions from Belarus (975), the United Kingdom (560), and Argentina (450), along with smaller groups from Georgia, South Africa, Brazil, Uzbekistan, and other nations
Interest in Aliyah surged from Western countries following the October 7 conflict, with a 352% rise in immigration cases from France, along with 60% from the United States, 87% from Canada, and 62% from the United Kingdom. This increase reflects both a response to rising antisemitism in these regions and a desire to show solidarity with Israel
Demographically, about 31% of the new immigrants were young adults aged 18-35, many of whom are integrating through programs or joining the IDF. Additionally, 20% were children (ages 0-17), while the remaining 49% comprised adults aged 36 and above. Netanya became the leading destination city, absorbing over 4,700 Olim, followed by Tel Aviv, Haifa, and Jerusalem
These trends demonstrate a strong commitment within the global Jewish community to relocate to Israel, reinforcing Israel's societal resilience even during challenging times.
