Fact check: What is the total number of immigrants from the US, Canada, and Europe living in Israel as of 2025?

Checked on June 18, 2025

1. Summary of the results

Based on the analyses provided, none of the sources contain specific data answering the question about the total number of immigrants from the US, Canada, and Europe living in Israel as of 2025. The first three sources [1] [2] [3] focus entirely on immigration statistics within the United States and provide no relevant information about Israel [1] [2] [3].

The remaining sources discuss Israeli migration patterns but from the opposite direction - focusing on Israelis living abroad rather than immigrants to Israel. One source notes that roughly three-quarters of Israelis living outside Israel reside in English-speaking countries, with close to 50% in the US [4]. Another discusses the growth of Dutch Jewish populations due to Israeli migration to the Netherlands [5], while a third reports on Israelis considering leaving their country [6].

The analyses reveal a complete absence of data addressing the specific question posed.

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The question assumes that comprehensive, up-to-date statistics on immigrants from these specific regions to Israel are readily available and tracked. However, the sources suggest several important contextual gaps:

  • Data collection challenges: Immigration statistics may not be systematically categorized by country of origin in publicly available Israeli demographic data
  • Reverse migration patterns: The available sources indicate significant outward migration from Israel to Western countries, particularly English-speaking nations [4] [6], which may complicate net immigration calculations
  • Definition ambiguities: The question doesn't specify whether it seeks first-generation immigrants, naturalized citizens, or includes temporary residents
  • Recent geopolitical factors: Given that 40% of Israelis reportedly consider leaving the country [6], current immigration patterns may be significantly affected by ongoing regional conflicts

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

While the original question itself doesn't contain explicit misinformation, it assumes the existence and accessibility of specific demographic data that may not be publicly available or systematically tracked. The question's framing suggests that precise 2025 immigration figures from these Western regions should be readily obtainable, when the evidence indicates such data is either:

  • Not collected in this specific format by Israeli authorities
  • Not publicly released in accessible databases
  • Potentially classified or restricted due to security considerations

The question may inadvertently perpetuate assumptions about data transparency in immigration statistics that don't reflect the reality of how such information is collected and disseminated by national governments, particularly in regions experiencing ongoing security challenges.
