In Israel, typically, a municipal township will gain the formal title of a "city" if it has at least 20,000 residents.

Out of the approximately 194 municipal townships in Israel (as of several years ago...), only 57 are considered "cities" by the governmental authorities.

Important to keep in mind, though, if comparing to the situation in other countries. Each country defines the "city" standard based on a different number of residents..So, for example, in Switzerland, a municipality would need to have at least 10,000 residents to be deemed a city.
