One in four Israeli Jews would emigrate, new survey finds

The July results from the Jewish People Policy Institute monthly survey paint a grim picture.

The data was collected from both Jews and Arabs, in proportion to Israel's population divide, with questions split into five categories:

Israel's future

Participants were asked how strongly they agree with the statement, "If I had a practical opportunity to emigrate, I would do so". A quarter of Jewish Israelis and four in ten Arab Israelis agreed.

The percentage of those agreeing is higher among secular Israelis who identify with the centre (33%) and centre-left (36%), and significantly lower among religious Israelis (4%).

Israel-Hamas war

An overwhelming majority of Israeli citizens are concerned about Israel's security situation, with a slightly larger percentage of Arab citizens (90%) indicating this over Jewish Israelis (84%).

There was a slight increase in confidence among Jewish Israelis that Israel will win the war.

Trust in leadership

Only 2% of Arabs and 16% of Jews expressed a very high level of confidence in Netanyahu.

Over half expressed low or very low trust in the IDF command.

Israel and US

Ahead of the US presidential election, 24% of all respondents would prefer Trump to win, while 30% voted for Biden.

A much higher percentage of Jewish Israelis are rooting for Trump (51%) than Arab Israelis (23%). For Biden, 35% of his Israeli supporters are Jewish, compared to 13% Arab.
