Figures released by the PA’s Central Bureau of Statistics reveal that over one third of Arab youth living in Judea, Samaria and Gaza would leave the Land of Israel if they had the means. Inter-Arab violence, unemployment and poverty are some of the main reasons for the exodus. In the last year alone it is estimated that tens of thousands of Arabs living in Judea, Samaria and Gaza have left Israel to begin new lives abroad.

 

Voluntary transfer of Arabs has been a central platform of the Moledet party since its foundation. The idea has been dismissed by the left as “unworkable”.
