Admittedly I don't know how Israeli elections work and I'm too lazy to go look that up.
But if it's anything like America, it's not entirely accurate that whoever wins the PotUS is an accurate representation who the American people want to be president. The 2016 and 2020 election should have put a grand spotlight on that if anyone wasn't aware.
I mean we don't even have to get down to the nitty griddy of things. The PotUS can literally win without getting the popular vote through multiple very legal channels regarding the electoral college system.
2016 Trump lost the popular vote. 2020, Trump goons were a bunch of idiots on how they tried to game the electoral system, which I don't think people realize just how much could have been legally gamed. Much of our electoral system operates on precedents, not law, in some states.
Netanyahu has been leader of Israel for 15 years now. People aren't voting against Likud. They're voting with them. He was also their leader from 1993-1999. So 21 out of 30 years has been under his leadership.
