Portuguese Immigration Service announced that 21,000 Israelis have applied for its citizenship since the beginning of the year, ranking first among other nationalities. Immigration offices have become a destination address for thousands of Israelis, and there has been a 10 per cent increase in the number of new inquiries regarding Portuguese, German and Polish nationalities since the formation of the current government.
Media outlets and social media networks have published a lot of material talking about Israelis’ immigration and new passports’ requests. The most common word in Google searches in Israel has become “moving out”. A Facebook group called “Leaving the Country – Together” has been formed recently and announced that they have decided to organise groups to leave Israel in light of the changes witnessed.
