The original conceit of Israel was as a release valve for antisemitic countries to deport their Jewish diaspora. I guarantee you that the UK and France and Germany and the rest of Eastern Europe (and big chunks of the US, for that matter) aren't going to want to take them back.

But also, a bunch of these people - Netanyahu included - are dual citizens anyway, so its less of an issue for the folks with the financial privilege to depart. What's going to be more problematic are the folks who got dragged out to Israel by their parents and left in lurch when the political forces propping the region up begin to fall apart.

But then the answer for the Israelis is no different than the answer for every other large economically stratified community facing a collapse in foreign subsidies and cheap foreign labor.
