Days before the Jewish New Year (Rosh Hashanah), the Israeli Interior Ministry published figures highlighting the growth of Israel’s population over the past year – according to the Hebrew calendar.
According to the Ministry’s Population and Migration Department, there were 186,923 recorded births in Israel since last Rosh Hashanah. In addition, 26,990 immigrants made Aliyah to Israel, making the total number of new Israelis 213,913.
Over the same period there were 45,033 deaths in Israel.
The Ministry also provided statistics on marriage and divorce. During the past Hebrew year, more than 82,000 Israelis got married, while less than 24,000 were divorced.
Some 732,000 identity cards were issued over the past year.

Those stats matter. How quickly is Israel shrinking from the Jewish state to another kind?

The numbers don't count the total population. They only count citizens. The PLO/Hamas Arab Muslim Nazis in Judea, Samaria, and Gaza are not included so the count is probably close to 50%. Also, I don't know how it takes into account citizens living abroad.

Anyway, the Aliyah only brings Jews.

Well, that's almost 27,000 new Jews in Israel.

That's true but the government considers many Non-Jewish immigrants as olim since they qualify under the Law of Return because of one Jewish grandparent or because they are intermarried with Jews.
