Editor's Notes: The argument splitting religious-Zionist households before Israel’s election
Israel elects 120 members of Knesset by proportional representation; nobody has ever won a majority, 61 is the only number that counts
Assessment

The only meaningful threshold is 61 seats, the minimum for a coalition majority. How this internal split affects voting patterns could reshape the religious-Zionist bloc's influence in coalition negotiations.
