<\/a>Global Antisemitism Sparks Surge in Aliyah From Western Countries as Jews Leave US, UK, France for Israel<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nAilin Vilches Arguello<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n As global antisemitism continues to skyrocket,\u00a0Israel recorded a\u00a0surge in Jewish immigration from Western nations<\/a>\u00a0specifically in 2025, despite an overall decline in Jews abroad moving to their ancient homeland.<\/span><\/p>\n Israel welcomed over 21,900 Jews from more than 100 countries this year amid ongoing hostility abroad. The figure represented a drop of about one-third from last year\u2019s numbers, due largely to a steep dip in Russian emigration.<\/span><\/p>\n However,\u00a0aliyah\u00a0\u2013 the process of Jews immigrating to Israel \u2013 from the United States, France, the United Kingdom, and other Western countries surged sharply this year, according to data released Monday by Israel\u2019s Immigration and Absorption Ministry.<\/span><\/p>\n This growing migration pattern comes as Jewish communities around the world, especially in Europe, have faced a\u00a0troubling surge in antisemitic incidents<\/a>\u00a0and anti-Israel sentiment since the Hamas-led invasion of and massacre across southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n Jewish leaders have consistently called on authorities to take swift action against the rising wave of targeted attacks and anti-Jewish hate crimes, ranging from the vandalism of murals and businesses to violent physical assaults, that their communities continue to face.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cAliyah to Israel in 2025 is a moving testament to Jewish resilience and the strength of the Zionist spirit, even amid security and national challenges,\u201d Jewish Agency chairman Maj. Gen. (res.) Doron Almog said in a statement.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cIn the shadow of the war, thousands of young people and families chose to bind their fate with Israel and build a shared future here,\u201d he continued. \u201cAliyah is Israel\u2019s growth engine, demographically, socially, economically, and morally.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Continuing a\u00a0steady upward trend<\/a>, arrivals from France jumped 45 percent this year to 3,300, up from 2,200 in 2024, while immigration from the UK rose almost 20 percent to 840 immigrants.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Ministry data also showed 420 newcomers from Canada, 220 from South Africa, and 180 from Australia.<\/span><\/p>\n These latest figures come as Jewish communities worldwide warn of escalating threats in the wake of a\u00a0deadly attack on a Hanukkah celebration<\/a>\u00a0at Sydney\u2019s Bondi Beach that left 15 dead and at least 40 injured.<\/span><\/p>\n Earlier this year, a string of deadly terrorist attacks also targeted Jewish communities abroad, including the\u00a0Yom Kippur assault in Manchester<\/a>\u00a0that killed two Jewish men, the firebombing of a march for Israeli hostages in Boulder, Colorado \u2013 which killed one and injured 13 \u2013 and the murder of two Israeli Embassy staffers in Washington, DC.<\/span><\/p>\n According to Nefesh B\u2019Nefesh (NBN), a nonprofit that promotes and facilitates\u00a0aliyah\u00a0from the US and Canada, overall North American immigration rose about 12 percent this year to 4,150 new arrivals, the highest annual total the organization has seen in four years.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThese olim [or new immigrants] underscore that aliyah is not solely a personal milestone, but a national and historic endeavor,\u201d NBN executive director Rabbi Yehoshua Fass said in a statement.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cTogether, these new olim are already helping to address Israel\u2019s national needs and strengthen its future, and we recognize the significance of their decision to establish their lives in the State of Israel at this pivotal moment in the country\u2019s history,\u201d he continued.<\/span><\/p>\n Among all countries, Russia accounted for the largest number of immigrants in 2025, with about 8,300 arriving, continuing a trend seen every year since the 1990s. Yet, this figure represents nearly a 60 percent decline from 19,500 last year and is only a fraction of the 74,000 immigrants who arrived in 2022 following Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine.<\/span><\/p>\n The ministry also showed that about a third of all new immigrants during the year were aged 18\u201335, highlighting a continued trend of younger Jews making\u00a0aliyah.<\/span><\/p>\n Since the start of the war in Gaza,\u00a0the Israeli government has been working<\/a>\u00a0to boost the country\u2019s capacity to attract and absorb rising numbers of new arrivals, introducing initiatives such as partnering with Israeli companies to provide immediate employment and offering a zero percent income tax rate for immigrants arriving in 2026.<\/span><\/p>\n Earlier this year, the government also unveiled a $46.4 million program to support immigrant integration and attract skilled Jewish candidates with in-demand expertise, including a reform to expedite professional licensing for new arrivals.<\/span><\/p>\n According to Jewish Agency data, roughly 30,000 Jews worldwide began the immigration process in 2025, with particularly significant increases seen in the UK and Australia.<\/span><\/p>\n Despite these figures,\u00a0Israel still faces a net migration deficit<\/a>, with more people leaving than arriving \u2014 a trend experts warn is expected to continue next year.<\/span><\/p>\n In 2024, approximately 80,000 Israelis left the country while only 24,000 returned, creating an unprecedented negative migration balance of almost 58,000 people, according to the Israeli Bureau of Statistics.<\/span><\/p>\n Zawarto\u015b\u0107 publikowanych artyku\u0142\u00f3w i materia\u0142\u00f3w nie reprezentuje pogl\u0105d\u00f3w ani opinii Reunion’68,<\/em> Global Antisemitism Sparks Surge in Aliyah From Western Countries as Jews Leave US, UK, France for Israel Ailin Vilches Arguello New olim disembark at Tel Aviv\u2019s Ben Gurion Airport on the first charter aliyah flight after he Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attacks, arriving to begin new lives in Israel.
