what percent of the israel population is jewish
About three-quarters of Israel’s population is Jewish, around 73–76% depending on the exact definition and year.
As of the start of 2026, Israel’s Central Bureau of Statistics reported about 10.178 million residents, of whom roughly 7.77 million are classified as “Jews and others,” making up about 76.3% of the total population. Earlier demographic snapshots put the specifically Jewish share (excluding some non‑Arab “others”) at about 73.2–74.2% in recent years, which is why you’ll often see the figure quoted in the mid‑70% range.
