Life expectancy at birth, total population, 2024 estimates. Israel in blue, Iran in brown.
A baby born in Israel can expect to live about 83.1 years, the highest among the Arab League, Iran and Israel, and 9.3 years more than the average across the League and Iran, which is 73.8.
Life expectancy depends on income, health care and conflict. The lowest figures are in countries with long wars or weak states.
