By Aryeh Stern
Ahead of Independence Day, which will be marked next week, Israel’s population stood at 9.9 million people, some 189,000 (1.9%) more than last year, according to a report by the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) released Thursday.
The CBS estimated that the population will hit the 10-million mark by the end of 2024.
The report said that 7.247 million people, or 73.2%, are Jews, 2.089 million (21.1%) are Arabs and the remaining 564,000 (5.7%) are categorized as “other.” About 80% of Jewish Israelis were born in Israel.
Over the past year, about 196,000 babies have been born in Israel, 37,000 people immigrated to Israel, and some 60,000 people have died, the report said, noting that additional factors affecting the population number are family unifications and Israelis staying abroad for over a year.
The report said that some 28% of Israelis are aged 0-14, while 12% are 65 and over.
