what percentage of people in israel are ethnically jewish

In Israel, Jews make up about 73.5% of the population based on recent demographic estimates. If you mean the share of people who are ethnically Jewish specifically, this is the closest widely cited figure available from population data.

Important nuance

• “Jewish” in Israeli statistics is often used as a demographic category rather than a strict genetic or ethnic measurement.

• Some people counted as Jewish may identify culturally or religiously more than ethnically, and some citizens are not classified as Jewish even if they have partial Jewish ancestry.
