compared to when Israel was founded in 1948. Of the Israeli population:
the Jewish population makes up 6,668,000 (74.3%);
1,878,000 (20.9%) are Arabs;
and, those identified as "others" (non-Arab Christians, Baha'i, etc) make up 4.8% of the population
(426,000 people). In addition to these numbers, there are approximately 170,000 people living in
Israel who are neither citizens nor permanent residents.
In May 2014, the Israeli Housing Minister Uri Ariel, who himself lives in the West Bank settlement
of Kfar Adumim, put the settler population at up to 750,000: 400,000 in the West Bank and up to
350,000 in East Jerusalem. The overall population grew by 2% in 2018.
The population of Israel is forecast to reach 10 million by 2024 or sooner.
Israel welcomed approximately 40,000 new immigrants in 2018 with most immigrants arriving in
Israel from France, the Ukraine, Russia, and the United States .
Of
Israeli Jews, 44.3% self-identify as secular, 11% simply as
religious, and 9% as ultra-Orthodox.
Those of European and American ancestry make up about 2.2 million (36%) of the Jewish
population while Africans fill out another 14.5% and Asians are 11.2%.
Out of the 14.5 million Jewish people in the world, 46% reside in Israel.
In the US in 2016 there were 5,700,000 Jews
