What is the meaning of the different numerical sequence for the Knesset and the Israeli government?
A6: There may be more than one government during a Knesset term, if a coalition government disintegrates but if a new coalition is formed and approved by a Knesset majority, it becomes a new government, i.e. without going to elections. Thus the 31st Government of Israel served throughout the (incomplete) term of the 17th Knesset.
