A new study by Tel Aviv University reveals a sharp rise in emigration among highly educated and skilled Israelis between January 2023 and September 2024, with about 90,000 people leaving the country, including thousands of engineers, doctors, and academics. The research highlights concerns over the loss of vital human capital, which threatens Israel's high-tech sector and overall economic stability, as well as a significant reduction in state tax revenues. The trend accelerated following government plans to overhaul the judiciary and the outbreak of war in October 2023, leading to increased departures among tech workers and medical professionals. Economists warn that unless political and social issues are addressed, the brain drain could worsen, posing a strategic threat to Israel's future prosperity.
