In 2024, 82 700 Israelis left the country, an all-time record. In Europe, Germany is benefiting the most, attracting 18% of this emigration.

Settling in Germany is facilitated by reparation laws that give descendants of Holocaust victims easier access to German nationality. Since 2022, passport applications have surged, despite a rise in anti-Semitism in the country.
