Yoram Ettinger

Yoram Ettinger is an Israeli demographer, diplomat, and right-wing activist.

Ettinger is known for advancing the thesis that the Palestinian Authority over-counts Palestinian numbers and fertility, and that Jews will remain a majority within the former territory of Mandate Palestine west of the Jordan River. Ettinger's demographic forecasts are widely cited by Israeli right-wing politicians in support of annexation of the West Bank, but have been contested by experts.[1][2]

From 1989 to 1992, Ettinger was the minister for congressional affairs at the Israeli embassy to the United States.[3]
