Moving to Israel | Emigrating to Israel
Moving to Israel: When it comes to relocating to Israel, the first important question to ask is: Are you Jewish or do you have any Jewish kinship that entitles you to use Israel’s right of return?
If you can answer that question with a “yes,” (you probably already know about it anyway): Israel is pushing for a policy that promotes the return of Jews from around the world to the country, making immigration for them extremely easy. Returning Jewish people can be supported with financial means, as well as be provided with accommodation and enjoy other benefits that expats, who are not Jewish, can not claim.
Nevertheless, Israel is a relatively popular expat destination among non-Jews from around the world. People are impressed by, among other things, an immensely diverse culture which combines influences from many different religions and origins. Israel has beautiful beaches, an extremely strong economy and an excellent quality of life.

Languages
Language skills in Hebrew and Arabic, which are the two official languages of the country, should definitely be acquired. English is also widely spoken to an excellent level.
Climatic Conditions
Israel has a Mediterranean climate, which means that the summers are relatively long, dry and hot, whereas winters tend to be short, cool and wet. The majority of expats decide to move to the two destinations of Tel Aviv and Haifa, which offer mostly typical Mediterranean temperatures and both have a pleasant climate.
Working in Israel
Israel also shines with great career opportunities, a high level of education, as well as expertise in sought-after occupations. In general, expatriates pursuing a plan to move to Israel should make sure in advance that they are financially sound and, ideally, from a professional perspective, everything is planned and set up before the trip. This is necessary because Israel is economically very strong with a great quality of life. However, the cost of living is relatively high, which should definitely be considered and calculated before moving.
Even start-ups are particularly easy to implement in Israel, being second only to the United States for having the highest number of young companies of this type. This, of course, is an advantage for those expats who have the know-how in these areas and who are planning to start their own business in Israel – the conditions for that could hardly be better!

Safety
Of course, when talking about Israel, one must always mention the security situation of the country. Relatively speaking, Israel is a very safe country where, out of necessity, much emphasis is placed on a strict security policy. This is because the risk and possibility of terrorist attacks are definitely higher than in other western countries.
However, the biggest threat of terrorism concerns the West Bank. The ideological melting pot of Jerusalem, with the aforementioned cities of Tel Aviv and Haifa, is definitely much less at risk. As soldiers are generally very visible, peoples individual sense of security is very high, which contributes to the fact that expats from countries around the world feel safe in Israel.
