Israeli women have an average of 3 children, Ynetnews reported. This makes Israel's birthrate higher than all European countries.
The data, submitted by the Health Ministry, shows that for every 1000 Israelis 24 babies are born each year. The European yearly average is 10 babies for every 1000 citizens.
In the UK, the average birthrate is 12, and in France and Germany the average is only 9.

So I wonder how this breaks out Jews vs. Muslims. Israel is twenty-something percent Muslim after all. Similarly France has a high birthrate for Western Europe but a lot of the little froglets are named Mohammed instead of Jacques.
The study was headed by Bennett Zimmerman of Los Angeles, with the help of Yoram Ettinger, an Israeli government consultant and former Congressional liaison in Israel's Washington embassy. "In contrast with the demographic fatalism that has been introduced to Israel in recent years," Ettinger told Arutz-7 today, "our study shows that this is simply not true. The trends are in our favor. The Jewish-religious birthrate is higher than the Arabs', and these babies will grow up in 15-20 years and will bring about a population explosion."

Most Israeli jews are not religious. I’m sure the arab rate is still higher.

(Note that after AIDRG released their report on the 1.5 million population gap other demographers have "quietly" reduced their estimates of the arab popuilation by about 1 million according to Caroline Glick.)
Fortunately in Israel Jews (mainly religious jews) breed out Muslims.
