As Israel prepares to celebrate its 77th Independence Day, new data from the Central Bureau of Statistics reveals a historic milestone: the country’s population has officially surpassed 10 million.
According to the bureau, Israel’s population grew by approximately 135,000 over the past year, bringing the total to an estimated 10,094,000 residents.
The figures include 7.7 million individuals classified as Jewish or “other” — a category encompassing non-Arab Christians and people without a listed ethnicity. In previous years, Jews and “others” were tallied separately, but the latest report combines them into a single figure.
The Arab population stands at about 2.1 million, accounting for 20.9 percent of the total population.
Additionally, the overall number includes roughly 248,000 foreign residents currently living in Israel.

77th Independence Day כן ירבו
Even more important for every decent loving Jew to so absolutely sure to cast their ballot for WZO, and encourage their friends & relatives to vote for WZO elections.
Sincerely wishing everyone a יום-העצמאות שמח
10 million what? Russian Christians, African pagens, Arabs and let’s not forget the Eirav Rav.
The Jews-and-others business is to avoid the issue of ‘Who is a Jew?’. How many of those are goyim from the former USSR, shiksa common law spouses recognized de-facto, non-Orthodox ‘geirim’, etc.?
Be that as it may, the people celebrating Israel’s growth should at least thank the Chareidi and Dati mothers, who give birth to more than half of the Jewish babies born here…
