Among the new immigrants, 14,398 came from Russia, 3,185 came from the United States and 2,253 moved from France, the ministry says.
Immigration to Israel has been on the decline since Hamas launched its war against Israel on October 7, 2023.
After registering 46,590 new immigrants in 2023, immigration declined by 30% in 2024 to 32,161, despite rising antisemitism worldwide, the Aliyah and Integration Ministry says.
