Israel recruits abroad to fill 12,000 troops
The occupation authorities are intensifying their efforts to attract Jews from abroad to join the military through programs that include temporary volunteering, relocating to Israel, and supporting lone soldiers, with the aim of filling a gap estimated at 12,000 soldiers. Around 3,614 recruits from abroad are participating in these programs, of whom 30% are from the United States and 18% from Russia, with the number of immigrant recruits increasing by 39% between 2023 and 2025. Nevertheless, these programs remain insufficient to compensate for the troop shortage, and political disagreements over expanding compulsory conscription and distributing internal burdens continue to be among the most significant challenges.
