A recent poll has revealed that Israelis are viewed as the second least wanted group of migrants in the United Kingdom, trailing behind Russians. The YouGov poll indicates that nearly half of British citizens desire the UK to admit fewer Israelis, or none at all. The study found that Pakistanis, Indians, Turks, Egyptians, and Nigerians are more popular among the British public, though all these groups are generally unpopular.

Only one in twenty Britons want the UK to accept more Israelis, with 23 percent advocating for fewer Israelis and 24 percent suggesting none should be permitted. Only 24 percent of British people believe the current number of Israelis in the country is acceptable, while 23 percent expressed uncertainty. Contrarily, 34 percent of Britons believe no Russian migrants should be allowed into the UK, and 15 percent stated no Indians should be admitted.
