Israel Makes Major Gains in Raising Life Expectancy
(Jerusalem Post) Judy Siegel-Itzkovich - The life expectancy of Jewish Israelis has increased significantly over the last 30 years and is longer on average than in the OECD countries.

But for Israelis, both Jews and Arabs, the gain was over 7 years.
