Israel has welcomed some 3.3 million immigrants since its creation in 1948, the Central Bureau of Statistics said Monday.
Of that number, 43.7% have immigrated since 1990, when Jews in Soviet states were finally allowed to leave with the collapse of the USSR.
In 2018, Israel saw 37,200 new arrivals, of which 28,000 were new immigrants, up 6.6% from 2017.
According to the CBS, most immigrants were women (51.1%) and about 70% of all immigrants were aged 15-64.
