    In the last election, around 52% of the Israeli voters voted for parties that aren’t part of Bibi’s “bloc”.
    Bibi’s party, Likud, got 23.4% of the votes. Two of the parties in his “bloc” are ultra-orthodox where their voters vote according to what their Rabbis say, and where one of the parties (UTJ) doesn’t recognize the state of Israel as it is now.

    This is why he’s called “the king of Israeli politics”, because he manages to be PM despite all of this.
