A new study released Wednesday by the Jerusalem Institute for Policy Research shows that since 2000 there has been a 10% increase in the proportion of the Arab population in Jerusalem, destroying anti-Israel claims that Israel is somehow “Judaizing” or “ethnically cleansing” the city.
The new report was published ahead of Jerusalem Day, June 10, which commemorates the reunification of the city in 1967. The data shows that the city’s population at the end of 2020 numbered more than 950,000 residents – of whom 38% were Arabs, up from around 34% in 2010.
