| Prior to the election, each party presents its platform, and the list of its candidates for the Knesset, in order of precedence. |
| The Knesset could, in a no-confidence vote by an absolute majority of its members, oust the prime minister and her or his government. |
| The discussion was held under the auspices of two Members of Knesset, Tamar Zandberg and Dov Henin. |
| A former speaker of the Knesset — like Netanyahu, he is a member of the Likud — he was a clubhouse pol, a backslapper, a vote trader. |
| All engaged parties were fully aware that when the Knesset began its full session at the end of October, it might well call early elections. |
| Most of the Socialist parties' leaders and their representatives in the Knesset came from those groups. |
