Water has a high dielectric constant. (It is able to break the ionic bonds between the ionic compounds. Eg: It separates the and ions of NaCl.) Hence it is a polar covalet compound and able to dissolve ionic compounds easily.
Whereas Benzene lacks the proper dielectric constant as water and hence can only dissolve a few substances (Such as Rubber).

As water is a polar covalent compound it decreases the electrostatic forces of attraction , resulting the free ions in the aqueous solution
