Abstract
Between the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948 and the end of 1995, roughly 2.4 million people immigrated to Israel. They include approximately one million immigrants who arrived in the 1950s, mostly from North Africa and Asia, and around 700,000 who arrived in 1990–1995, most of them from the former Soviet Union (FSU).
