5. They really didn't. Netanyahu only got 23% of the vote.

That gave him 32 seats (you need 61 to form a government). Netanyahu agreed to align with the far-right religious parties which gave him another 32 seats.

It's an almost 50/50 split among the pro-Bibi side and anti-Bibi side. Bibi's coalition got 49.57%. Anti-Bibi got 48.94%.

Turnout was around 70%, so of 70% of the voters, not even 50% supported the Bibi coalition.
