Israel: no generally available nationwide domestic same-sex civil marriage is recorded by the 2026-10-10 legal-status review. Religious domestic marriages do not provide same-sex marriage; registration of foreign marriages and online foreign-law marriages must be distinguished. This describes legal status, not a demonstrated effect on birth rates.

Israel’s TFR of 2.85 is above replacement and materially stronger than peer high-income countries, but war/security and housing costs remain major family pressures. Observed TFR 2.850 (2023) is above replacement and below the TBF target of 5.0.

Universal health-insurance architecture gives broad reach, but mandatory contributions, copays, medicines and emergency-room fees prevent zero-money care.
