At this point in time, the overwhelming majority of the population of Jews in the Middle East are located in Israel, with a very small population remaining in Iran and Turkey. Originally, Jews could be found all throughout the Middle East and there were large Jewish communities in Baghdad, Teheran, Istanbul, Beirut, Damascus, Cairo, and Alexandria. However, it has been made untenable for Jews to remain in many Middle Eastern Muslim countries.
