Jewish people make up less than 47 percent of all those living west of the Jordan River.
Arnon Soffer, a professor of geography at Haifa University reached his figures by taking into consideration the hundreds of thousands of non-Jewish people residing in Israel who are not citizens.
According to Soffer, there are 7.45 million Jews and others along with 7.53 million Arab Israelis and Palestinians living in what he termed the Land of Israel, meaning Israel plus the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
