So how many Israelis actually came from abroad to vote?

Despite reports of Israelis coming specifically from abroad to vote, passenger data at Ben Gurion Airport is similar to last year and even lower on some days. The rough estimate is that their arrival may translate into one seat in the Knesset.

Despite reports of Israelis coming specifically from abroad to vote in the elections, traffic data at Ben Gurion Airport does not indicate an unusual increase. Out of about 810,000 Israeli citizens residing abroad, an estimated 60,000 came to vote. In recent days, an average of about 60,000 incoming and outgoing passengers per day has been recorded, similar to the corresponding period last year and even lower on some days. Airlines report occupancy rates of 75%-80%, and the rough estimate is that the arrival of Israelis from abroad may translate into one seat in the Knesset. The data casts doubt on reports of an unusual influx.
