• A total of 15,600 Israelis left the country in 2010, the most recent year for which such statistics are available, representing 300 fewer emigrations than Israel experienced in 2009.
• About 25 percent of those who left Israel returned home within a period of several months to a year, the new statistics revealed.
Over the past decade, emigration from Israel has consistently declined while immigration to the country has remained relatively stable, according to Israel National News.
