Population & migration since 2023

How each country's population changed across the conflict, and how much of that change is explained by net migration (people moving in or out).

Israel
10,020,000 population (2025)
+656,000 (+7%) since 2021
+75,000 net migration since 2023 (more arrived) Migration accounts for about 11.4% of the population change.
115,000 people displaced (refugees, asylum seekers & internally displaced)
Palestine
5,600,000 population (2025)
+467,000 (+9.1%) since 2021
-90,000 net migration since 2023 (more left) Migration accounts for about 19.3% of the population change.
1,900,000 people displaced (refugees, asylum seekers & internally displaced)

Net migration is the balance of people entering minus leaving. Population figures are drawn from the most recent years on record and may lag the present.
