General Remarks
Country: 
Israel

Israel is one of the few "major" countries without a map. It would be great to have one showing Palestinian Arabic, Bedawi Arabic, Syrian Arabic (Golan?), and maybe other languages I'm not aware of (Armenian in the Armenian quarter of Jerusalem? Russian in some localities such as Nof Hagalil: https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2022-04-20/ty-article-magazine/.prem... ?)

Turkish language in Israel

Regarding: 
Language Counts
Country: 
Israel

According to this paper (p. 513): https://www.jstor.org/stable/4284466

100,000-150,000 immigrants from Turkey in Israel (including the offsprings of immigrants)

In 2001, 30,600 Turkish Jews born abroad (most likely, in Turkey) in Israel.

20,000 Turkish immigrants in Israel who still have Turkish citizenship

So there are at least 30k Turkish speakers in Israel. 

Editorial Action

We will add a language entry for Turkey [tur] in Israel, for inclusion in the next edition of the Ethnologue.
