Israeli Cities
This hub lists only cities and localities with a cited CBS figure. Tel Aviv, Haifa, and other large cities exist; their population totals are omitted here until a matching official table is attached.
Figures cited from official publications. Last editorial check:
Nazareth
CBS’s 2023 local-authority profile for Nazareth (municipal code 7300) reports a year-end population of 77,209.
Jerusalem (Muslim residents, CBS)
CBS data released ahead of Eid al-Adha 2026, as reported by Israel.com, said Jerusalem remained home to the country’s largest Muslim population, with 395,200 Muslim residents at the end of 2025. Muslims made up 37.2% of Jerusalem’s population and 21.4% of all Muslims living in Israel.
This page does not compute or invent a total Jerusalem population from those percentages.
Druze localities cited by CBS
At the end of 2024, CBS reported the localities with the highest number of Druze as Dalit al-Karmel (17,700) and Yarka (16,400).
