Yes, Isaac was one son of Abraham, God changed their names and made certain covenants with them. Abram became Abraham and Isaac became Israel. The other son was followed by a group of outcasts with which NO COVENANT to be God's people was ever made. This made Isrealites and Ishmaelites, so all who followed Israel are Jews.

(more than 50%) are Jewish. But there are plenty of Christians, Muslims, Baha'i, Druze,
Hindu, Buddhist, Tao and Atheist among the rest of the country's citizens.
Israel has no official "state" religion, and there is no religious test or requirement for
citizenship, or for the right to health care, or for the right to buy and own land, or for
the right to set up and operate a business, or for the right to attend public school, or
for the right to vote, or for the right to hold elected office.
