Notes -
Not sure why it should be. Generally, the majority of Israel population is very sour to the political Left right now because, as the sibling comment noted, Oslo process had thoroughly failed and none of the promises the Left made to the people is even close to being even partially fulfilled. The question is who would lead the right or the "centrists" which will be pretty much the same as the right on the question of Arabs, but may be different on taxes or economic policies or how to deal with secular/religious divide, etc. - Israel has more than one problem. Among all those people, Netanyahu is the most credible and the most seasoned politician, so he keeps the power. The challengers, even if they have temporary success, usually fail to handle one crisis or another and get booted on the next election - and in Israel, that can happen anytime, because of how the Knesset works, the moment the ruling coalition loses the majority, it's new elections (not mandatory, but the majority can cause them to happen anytime they want). So the reason as it seems to be is kinda boring - he is on the winning side and he is the best at this game out of all available players. Maybe one day he'll get too old or somebody better than him will raise.
