JERUSALEM, Aug. 4 (Xinhua) -- Nearly 270,000 Israelis left the country for at least three consecutive months between 2023 and 2025, amid security concerns following the wars and controversy over judicial reform, according to a Tel Aviv University study released on Tuesday.

Based on data from Israel's Central Bureau of Statistics, the study found that 90,922 Israelis departed for three or more consecutive months in 2025, representing about 0.89 percent of Israel's population of about 10.2 million.
