The Taub Center publishes updated 2024 data on homicides across Israel\u2019s population groups. Our concerns have not abated.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our February 2024 study, The Homicide Rate in Israel<\/em><\/a>, described the number of violent deaths in Israel (excluding those resulting from terrorist attacks) by population group and in an international comparison. The findings showed that homicide rates of Arab Israelis have risen to unprecedented levels in recent years. Updated data presented by Taub Center researchers indicate that the number of homicides in the Arab population remained high in 2024 and that the gap between Jews and Arabs has grown further. The number of homicides in the Arab population stood at 220 in 2024, compared to only 109 in 2022. Among Jews, the numbers were 58 and 39, respectively.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Until 2015, the ratio of homicide rates between Arabs and Jews in Israel stood at 4:1. However, since 2016, both the number and rate of homicides in Israel\u2019s Arab population have been on a continuous and unprecedented rise, while the rate among Jews has been relatively flat.\u00a0 Together, these two trends pushed the Arab:Jewish ratio of homicides to 14:1 in 2024.<\/p>\n

The data indicate that Arabs in Israel are exposed to a much greater risk of homicide than Jews.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“The sharp rise in the number of homicides in the Arab population since 2018 is deeply concerning,” says Nir Kaidar, CEO of the Taub Center. He adds: “The new data show that not only has the upward trend not been curbed, but it continues at full force, with new records being set almost every year. It is important to emphasize that steps can be taken to try to reverse this trend, as seen in 2022, when there was a significant decline in the homicide rate \u2014 due in part to changes in policies addressing violence in Arab communities that year.”<\/p>\n
