Abortion applications in Israel declined in 2024 compared with prior years. Officials reported that 99.8 percent of submitted requests met eligibility rules and were approved. The same data linked the drop in applications to higher fertility rates among Israeli women. The report did not provide absolute numbers of procedures performed.
Legal framework Israeli law permits abortion under defined medical, age, and social conditions. Applications are reviewed by medical committees that determine whether those conditions are satisfied. The 99.8 percent approval figure applies only to requests that reached committee review.
The report did not detail how many potential applicants were screened out before formal submission. No further updates on 2025 application trends have been released.
