Arutz Sheva, 8 June 2005, reports on a new Washington-based study entitled: "Arab Population in the West Bank & Gaza - THE MILLION-AND-A-HALF PERSON GAP "
The report claims in its summary that:
The assumption that Arabs in the West Bank and Gaza pose a demographic threat to Israel has to be radically revised. The 2004 Palestinian-Arab population was closer to 2.4 million than to the 3.8 million reported by Palestinian Authority (PA) officials. These findings should have a significant impact on politicians, policy makers and international aid agencies.....
....The resident population in January 2004 was 2.4 million: 1.35 million in the West Bank and 1.07 million in Gaza ....
.......Since 1967, Jews have maintained their 60% majority in Israel, West Bank and Gaza and since 1990, the Jewish population has grown by 2.5% a year, only a slight fraction below the growth rate in the West Bank.
