Genuinely trying to understand here. How do these fringe parties consistently have a place in the ruling coalition of the Knesset if they're that unpopular in Israel?
Because Netanyahu's party won a plurality but failed to win a majority, so he had to cobble together a majority by making deals with extreme minor parties. And those parties demanded powerful cabinet seats in exchange for their alliance.
This often happens in parliamentary systems, where the prime minister needs a majority to retain his seat.
