The Yesha Council released the data from its annual population report on Judea, Samaria, and the Jordan Valley, indicating an increase of 12,297 residents during 2024.
As of early 2025, the region’s population was 529,704, constituting approximately 5.28% of Israel’s total population.
The report emphasized that the population growth rate in the region is 2.38%, more than double the national rate, which currently stands at 1.1%. The report also noted that over the past decade, there has been a 36% increase in the population of Judea and Samaria.
The head of the Binyamin Regional Council and Chairman of the Yesha Council, Yisrael Ganz said: “The data illustrates the great and significant work that is taking place in Judea and Samaria. Every year we see how settlement continues to grow and strengthen and is a living example of the Zionist vision that is being realized.”
Ganz continued, “Now, we expect the government to move to the next stage and act to properly apply sovereignty to this region of the country and, as is appropriate, to stop discrimination against the country’s dedicated citizens.”
