The annual statistics on the precise number of Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria (AKA the West Bank) have been released by former Knesset Member Yaakov “Ketzaleh” Katz.
Based on the Population Registry of Israel’s Interior Ministry, there are 406,302 Jews in Judea and Samaria as of December 31, 2015. As clearly stated in the report, the statistics do not include eastern neighborhoods of Jerusalem (e.g. Pisgat Zeev, Ramat Shlomo, Ramot, Gilo, Ramat Eshkol, etc.) which are technically part of the West Bank and are home to another approximately 360,000 Jews.
In the special English report released today, the Jewish population stats of Judea and Samaria are broken down into individual towns and regions and show the growth over the last year and 5 years. Since December 31, 2010, the number of Jews in Judea and Samaria has increased by 23.95%.
