AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): In contrast to the Zionist regime's extensive efforts over the past 78 years to attract Jews from around the world with the promise of providing a safe homeland, polls indicating an increase in reverse migration of Zionists from the occupied territories are being published one after another. A trend that has raised concerns in Tel Aviv.
According to a report by Al Jazeera Net, the latest poll published by the Zionist regime's Broadcasting Authority shows that nearly one-fifth of Zionists have considered emigrating from the occupied territories over the past two years.
According to this poll, conducted with a random sample of 2,358 Zionists, 18 percent of participants, approximately one-fifth, have considered emigrating from the occupied territories during 2024 and 2025, while 82 percent responded negatively.
This poll also examined the extent of the reverse migration phenomenon in the Zionist regime. About one-third of participants said they know someone who has emigrated from the occupied territories over the past two years. Additionally, 41 percent of participants expressed concern about the number of people emigrating from the Zionist regime.
Overall, reverse migration statistics from the Zionist regime have increased significantly over the past four years, reaching unprecedented levels. This trend peaked in 2024, with the total number of those who permanently left the occupied territories exceeding 150,000. This comes amid deep disagreements over the identity of the Zionist regime's government, as well as deteriorating economic and security conditions.
Migration in Electoral Calculations
With the approach of the Zionist regime's elections, a poll conducted by the private institute Kantar showed that the issue of Zionist emigration has gained increasing attention; elections scheduled for October 27.
Twelve percent of participants said the results of the upcoming elections may affect their decision on whether to continue residing in the Zionist regime or emigrate from it.
In contrast, about two-thirds of participants said the election results would not affect their decision, while nearly one-fifth said they did not know whether the election results would affect their decision.
The results also showed a clear difference between supporters of the ruling coalition and opponents of the Zionist regime.
Among supporters of the government coalition, 70 percent said they are not concerned about the number of people emigrating from the occupied territories, while 22 percent expressed concern about this issue.
However, among supporters of the government opposition, about 60 percent said they are concerned about the number of emigrants, and about a quarter said they have no concerns in this regard.
Migration and Netanyahu
This political divide becomes more apparent when Zionists are asked about Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of the Zionist regime.
According to a report prepared last month by Al Jazeera correspondent Elias Karam, polls show that about a quarter of Zionists, 23 percent, would consider leaving the occupied territories if Netanyahu forms the next government.
The report notes that the Netanyahu government's efforts to change the structure of judicial power and reduce the authority of the Supreme Court, the Attorney General, and the head of the internal intelligence agency have been among the most important factors that brought thousands of Zionists to the streets.
These protests also included calls for civil disobedience and defiance of military orders, an issue considered a sign of deep social division in the Zionist regime.
From Thoughts of Migration to Actual Migration
The signs of increasing migration are not limited to concerns or intentions. The results of this poll were released simultaneously with data indicating a significant increase in the number of Zionists emigrating for extended periods outside the occupied territories.
Last week, the Israeli Broadcasting Authority, citing a study conducted by Tel Aviv University based on data from the Central Bureau of Statistics, announced that about 268,509 Zionists had been outside the occupied territories for at least three months during 2023 to 2025.
The authority described this figure as a record in recent years.
According to the same study, about 90,000 Zionists emigrated for at least three months last year, a figure that, according to the Zionist regime's Broadcasting Authority, is far higher than the average recorded over the past decade.
On Thursday, Maariv, citing a study by the Zionist regime's Tax Authority, reported that the number of Zionists leaving the country has doubled. The newspaper noted that the sharp increase in migration has mainly been recorded among high-income individuals, employees in the high-tech and medical sectors, as well as people aged 40 to 50.
The newspaper also announced that the potential tax loss for the Zionist regime's government from this trend has reached about 1.2 billion shekels annually, equivalent to $400 million.
Previously, Israel Hayom had revealed that the emigration rate of wealthy Zionists doubled between 2019 and 2024, a trend that, according to the newspaper, costs the government hundreds of millions of dollars in tax losses annually.
The newspaper explained that tax losses resulting from the emigration of this group increased from about 500 million shekels, equivalent to $166 million in 2019, to 1.2 billion shekels, equivalent to $400 million in 2023 and 2024; an issue that has raised concerns in Israel's Finance Ministry.
Previous reports in Hebrew media had also attributed the increase in migration from the Zionist regime to the consequences of wars, rising living costs, and the political crisis related to the ruling right-wing current's efforts to pass laws limiting the powers of the judiciary.
