But the events of October 7, 2023, and the subsequent bloody conflicts with Gaza, Lebanon and Iran have triggered a profound shift in the psyche of many Israelis. What began as a major exodus spurred by immediate security concerns has evolved into a broader migration pattern, with waves of top Israeli talent seeking refuge and stability in Europe and beyond.

The Numbers Tell the Story: 285% increase

In the immediate aftermath of October 7 there was a staggering 285% increase in Israelis leaving the country permanently, according to Israel’s Central Bureau of Statistics. Although this rate has since stabilized, the outflow of Israelis remains significant, underscoring deeper concerns about safety, governance, and social cohesion. The migration trend predates the war, with departures surging by 51% in the months leading up to the October 7 attacks, amid widespread protests against the government’s controversial judicial overhaul.

Notably, the demographic profile of those leaving reveals the departure of Israel’s most educated and economically mobile citizens. Data indicates that many are married professionals working in tech, medicine, academia, and business—key sectors vital to Israel’s economy.

For Jewish Israelis, ancestral passports—primarily from Germany, Poland, and other European nations—allow for easier relocation to the European Union. Germany and Portugal have emerged as top destinations, appealing for their robust economies and political stability.
