Haaretz said "almost 40 percent of Israelis are thinking of emigrating." Recent poling said they'd leave if financially able.
(eh.....just like the 40% of S'poreans voted for Opposition leh.........)
Israeli governance combines militarism, repression, corruption, and harshness. Many Jews leave and others prepare by securing foreign passports. Many of Israel's best and brightest leave. They're in no rush to return. Many never do. Current data confirm a long recognized brain drain. Holders of advanced degrees leave permanently.
A Menachem Begin Heritage Center survey showed 59% of Israelis consider emigrating. They do so by inquiring about foreign citizenship and second passports. Growing numbers hold them.
(aiyoh.......pray they don't come here..........go India is best)
Gideon Levy said, "If our forefathers dreamt of an Israeli passport to escape from Europe, there are many among us who are now dreaming of a second passport to escape to Europe. It's an irony of history, because Israel was established to become a shelter. Now Europe becomes a shelter for Jews living in Israel."
Main reason given was inequality in the country with an ever-widening gap between the rich and poor.

Iran's Minister of Economic Affairs and Finance Shamseddin Hosseini says the country plans to phase out dollar and euro in its future international transactions after the US and the European Union (EU) imposed sanctions on Iran.
“[Iranian] government has made up its mind to phase out vehicle currencies such as dollar and euro in its [foreign] trade,” Hosseini told reporters on the sidelines of the first meeting of the heads of Economic Cooperation Organization’s tax organizations in Tehran on Monday.
He added that after the imposition of sanctions on Iran by the US and the EU, the Central Bank of Iran (CBI) immediately moved to change the country's hard currencies reserves into euro and gold which “was beneficial to the country.”
“Iran has taken proper measures to remove dominant currencies, particularly dollar and euro, from its foreign currency reserves as well as its international trade. [In doing this, Iran has shown that] it is possible to do trade without relying on major currencies,” he said.
