More ‘Israelis’ Leaving the Occupied Territories than Returning
Local Editor
A new report emerged showing that more ‘Israelis' are moving abroad for an extended period of time compared with the number of those returning to the occupied territories.
According to the report by ‘Israel's' Central Bureau of Statistics, out of 16,700 Zionists who moved overseas for an extended period of time in 2015, only about 8,500 returned.
The number shows a significant rise in the exit rate and a fall in the return rate compared to previous years.
The Zionist regime have been under fire by the international community over efforts to change the demographic build-up of the occupied territories over the past decades by constructing illegal settlements, destroying historical Palestinian sites and expelling the local Palestinian population.
The occupied territories have been the scene of a new Intifada since 2015, when the occupation regime imposed restrictions on the entry of Muslim worshippers into the al-Aqsa Mosque compound.
Many ‘Israelis' view the regime's decades-long occupation of Palestinian lands as a source of tensions with Palestinians.
In recent months, Tel Aviv witnessed a number of protest rallies in support of a Palestinian state and in condemnation of the ‘Israeli' occupation.
