Why do the peoples in Israel not like/love Netanyahu?
Probably for the same reason a lot of people, who have a left leaning tendency did not like Trump; who I believe was a great president.
Netanyahu's primary constituency is right-leaning Americans. In Israel, he has used the idea that he alone can keep America as a steadfast ally of Israel. He was very crafty in working with an openly hostile Obama administration and dancing a very fine diplomatic line with congressional republicans to help keep Israeli interests from leaving the American list of priorities. But to prove his singular value, he has over the years sabotaged anyone in his party or any coalition he has been a part of who gets too popular. Do that long enough and you get enough enemies that screwy coalitions like the current one can become a reality.
Now that Netanyahu is out of power, expect a lot of people who where too scared to confront him to step out and try to bury him.
Bibi has been PM for a decade and a half.
Be hard to say BiBi doesn’t have political support and wasn’t popular.
Be hard to say he doesn’t have enemies, too, right and left.
I have very mixed emotions re: Bibi, mainly stemming from growing up in Gush Katif (worth a Google for your edification).
He started out a milk toast center right guy like Romney (who was his friend) and slowly got pushed right really by the insanity and anyisemitism of the American left.
Long way of saying this was complicated.
That said, the final victory was from a a small group of liberals who effectly lied and pretended to be conservative to get votes.
It was just as big a fraud as what happened to Trump.
They do. It was how the coalition was formed to get him out. Sort of like the coalition here in the U.S. to get Trump out.
The Likud(Netanyahu's party) received more votes than any other party.
