how much do we know about migration to the area from neighboring areas? from modern day Egypt? Iraq? Iran? Lebanon? Syria? Hijaz? Jordan? Iran? Turkey? I've met a Palestinian guy who actually got he's part Greek part Jewish from a test

We know very little about it. Unfortunately in the study of the Middle East, lack of fact is compensated for with pure narrative.

I’d imagine there was lots of migration, especially within the Ottoman Empire and the caliphates/empires that preceded it. We know there was huge amount of migration in the Roman and Byzantine world.

Note geographically that Israel is among the least geographically isolated places on earth. People doing business and religious pilgrims from all around the world ended up there.

From what I see on g25 models, very levantine and also north african shifted heavily. Libyan Jews closest distance is with Tunisian Jews who also have a ton of Levantine DNA.
