Arab citizens in Israel: A Look at demographic diversity in different regions

Arab citizens of Israel, often referred to as "Arab 48" or "Arab Al-Dakhil," make up approximately 21 percent of Israel's total population. Most of these citizens reside in northern regions near the border with Lebanon, a unique area where Arab 48 citizens with an Israeli nationality outnumber Jewish citizens.

In this demographic breakdown, the figures stand as follows:

-         Jewish citizens: 640,000

-         Arab citizens: 800,000 (580,000 Muslims, 120,000 Druze, and 100,000 Christians)

The city of Haifa also has a significant Arab population, with the following statistics:

-         Arab 48: 265,000 (215,000 Muslims, 30,000 Druze, 20,000 Christians)

-         700,000 Jewish residents

However, the situation is markedly different in the occupied Syrian Golan Heights:

-         25,000 Syrian citizens remain in the Golan, with the majority being Druze, and the largest city is Majdal Shams.

-         25,000 Jewish Israeli settlers have gradually moved to the Golan since its occupation in 1967 and its annexation into Israel in 1981, with Qatsrin being the largest settlement.
