Migration from Israel poses economic and security risks
Researchers at Tel Aviv University have warned of an escalating brain drain of highly skilled professionals and degree holders from the occupied territories, particularly among engineers, doctors, and university graduates. This trend poses significant threats to the economy, security, and technological capability. The report revealed that the number of those leaving has surged unprecedentedly, reaching 69,000 in 2025, compared to around 32,000 annually during 2009-2019, with the number of returnees decreasing to less than 20,000 in 2024. It was also observed that the share of high-income individuals among emigrants increased from 24.5% in 2009 to 33.5% in 2024. This shift endangers sectors such as research and development, advanced technology, and cybersecurity, as the outflow of skilled professionals threatens the future of the economy and national security—especially given the expectation that this phenomenon will continue and have a negative impact on innovation and development capabilities within the region.
