According to the CIA World Factbook, as of an unknown date, the Sephardim make up about 55% of Israels Jewish population and the Ashkenazim about 45% . However, according to Wikipedia, as of 2018, Ashkenazim are estimated to be 31.8% of the Israeli population. Another Wikipedia article states that about 44.2% of Israels Jewish population identifies as Ashkenazi. It is important to note that the exact proportion of Mizrahi and Sephardic Jewish populations in Israel is unknown, and some estimates place Jews of Mizrahi origin at up to 61% of the Israeli Jewish population, with hundreds of thousands more having mixed Ashkenazi heritage due to cross-cultural intermarriage.
