Of the Israeli population:

the Jewish population makes up 6,870,000 (73.9%);

1,953,000 (21.1%) are Arabs;

and, those identified as "others" (non-Arab Christians, Baha'i, various other kinds of non-Orthodox

Jews and Christians etc) make up 5.0% of the population (456,000 people). In addition to these

numbers, there are approximately 170,000 people living in Israel who are neither citizens nor

permanent residents. Experts predict that the population of Israel will reach 10 million by 2024 or

sooner.

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 1.7% in 2020.

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 14.7 million Jewish people in the world, 47% reside in Israel.
