So genuine question, why is Netanyahu continually able to keep forming governments if he and his party are as unpopular as I understand they are? Is it just because the opposition parties aren’t able to work out a deal to form a coalition, despite them having a plurality?
Some of those partners have other reasons for aligning with Netanyahu besides his hardline stance on Palestine.
Meanwhile, public polling in Israel shows strong support for diplomatic solutions – with a plurality in favor of the two-state solution – rather than military solutions.
