A demographic analysis chart shows Israel's population growth surging past that of Portugal and Greece, with an 11 million milestone projected by 2029. The post notes that Israel had already overtaken Portugal and Greece in population, adjusting for earlier artificial methodological counts in Portugal, and attributes the trend to Israel's high birthrate versus stagnation in southern Europe.
The chart, produced by the Geplanet demographic analysis series, compares population trends in Israel, Portugal, and Greece from 2005 through a 2029 forecast. It shows Israel's population growing steadily from roughly 7 million in 2005, recently overtaking both Portugal and Greece as they plateau or decline. The post says Portugal's earlier edge was partly artificial (due to a then-active naturalization process that has since ended and reduced the count), and notes that the Israeli population is already above both. The 2029 forecast of 11 million would mark a 57% increase over two decades. No official government or Central Bureau of Statistics figures were cited in the post; the data is attributed to the Geplanet series, a demographic analysis account.
