Latest Population Statistics for Israel
Since Rosh Hashanah 2024, Israel’s population has grown by 101,000 (an increase of only 1.0%, compared to 1.2% and 2.0% in the two years prior, respectively). The total Jewish population and other residents in September 2025 was 7,758,000 (78.5%), and 2,130,000 (21.5%) were Arabs. Those identified as “others” are non-Arab Christians, Baha’i, Samaritans, Karaite Jews, Seventh-day Adventists, Messianic Jews, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and immigrants from the former Soviet Union, who identify themselves as Jewish but do not satisfy the Orthodox Jewish definition of “Jewish,” which the government uses for civil procedures.
