What is the current population of Israel?

Answer 1

We found a list on-line that lists 225 countries, dependencies, and territories,

from China (population = 1.3 billion) to Pitcairn (population = 50).

Here's the information it includes for Israel:

-- June, 2011: Israeli Central Bureau of Statistics has the national population

of 7,759,300. That places it #97 on the list of 225, between Switzerland and

Bulgaria.

-- Mid-2009: The UN figure for mid-2009 is 7,170,000, which excludes Israeli

population living in the 'West bank'. That figure would place Israel at #99 on

the list, between Serbia and Hong Kong.

Israel is the only country in the world where a majority of its population identify

themselves as Jews. About 75% of its population are Jews. The remainder are

primarily Muslim, Christian, and Druze.

Roughly 50% of the world's Jews live in Israel. The remainder are scattered

among more than 130 other countries.

The world-wide population of self-identified adherents of Judaism (Jews)

amounts to 0.2% (two tenths of one percent) of the world's population.

Answer 2

8,541,000, as of September 1, 2016.
