The campaign of lies waged by Israel to stop negative migration

From Israel’s official Arabic social media account on December 12, 2023 some photos were shared with the claim that “more than two thousand new Jews have arrived in the country since October 7 including some from Arab and Islamic countries.” It has been determined that the photos mentioned in the claim were taken by a Jewish organization called “Nefesh B’Nefesh” during the arrival of 215 Jews from the U.S. and Canada to Israel in August 2023 Therefore, the photos do not show the Jews who arrived in Israel to settle after October 7 Israel is relocating the majority of the Jews who arrive in the country to the occupied Palestinian territories and into homes of Palestinians who have been forcibly displaced On the other hand, in the news from December 4 based on sources from the Population and Immigration Authority Israeli media reported that “hundreds of thousands of Israelis have left the country after the October 7 clashes excluding thousands of foreign workers, refugees, and diplomats.” The sources noted that, of the 600,000 Israelis who traveled abroad for vacations and remained until October 7 470,000 have returned to the country so far while the number of Israelis who have left the country after October 7 is approximately 370,000 Therefore, the number of Israelis who have not returned to the country or who have left due to the war is around half a million It is stated that, although immigration to Israel has not completely stopped during this period it has significantly decreased Israel is conducting a campaign that contradicts the data reported by its official sources to stop the publication of negative migration figures
