Because, as you said the political spectrum is just a model we use to describe how a population might behave, and people dont think about leftness or rightness when they vote.

In this case, Albo has moved a little to the right by being friendlier with Israel's PM than he would ha e previously. Many conservative voters who think of the world in dumb phrases like "israel is the holy land" might remember Albo's softening to them, and vote for them as a result.
