The '''Jewish exodus from Arab lands''' refers to the 20th century expulsion or mass departure of Jews, primarily of [[Sephardi Jews|Sephardi]] and [[Mizrahi Jews|Mizrahi]] background, from [[Arab]] and Islamic countries. The migration started in the late 19th century, but accelerated after the [[1948 Arab-Israeli War]]. According to official Arab statistics,  856,000 Jews left their homes in Arab countries from 1948 until the early 1970s. Some 600,000 resettled in Israel. Their descendants, and those of Iranian and Turkish Jews, now number 3.06 million of Israel's 5.4 to 5.8 million Jewish citizens. <ref name=aiwwj>Schwartz, Adi.
