Sources of Population Growth—Israel and the West Bank, 1991–2007

*West Bank and Gaza settlement data excludes East Jerusalem settlements.

All Gaza settlements were evacuated in 2005.

The Israel column figures in this table include settlers in East Jerusalem.

Natural increase is determined by subtracting the number of deaths from the number of births each year. 

Migration balance accounts for new residents. In the Israel column, the migration balance is immigrants into the country. In the West Bank and Gaza figures, the migration balance is the net difference between departures and arrivals to settlements.
