The Jewish population in the West Bank experienced a growth rate that was double that of the general Israeli population last year, according to a report by WestBankJewishPopulationStats.com. The report, based on official government figures, revealed that the West Bank's Jewish-settler population increased by approximately 2.3%, adding over 12,000 individuals and reaching a total of 529,450 settlers.
While this growth rate was slightly lower than the previous year's 2.9%, it still outpaced the 1.1% population growth rate within Israel proper. The advocacy group behind the report expressed optimism that the number of Jewish settlers in the West Bank could significantly rise under the current U.S. administration.
