Russia too has elections and the leader there is also “elected by people”.
As for the endorsement of their “democratic” credentials by “western” nations, well, the very same ones supporting the Israeli Genocide the hardest, like Britain and the US are the ones producing the “Democracy Indices”.
I lived in Britain and I would certainly not trust anything produced by a British Think Tank or well known and openly Neoliberal Economics weekly Magazine - they’re in their own words “opinion formers” - there to make their audience have specific opinions -which isn’t at all the same as journalists.
More broadly and specifically for Israel, were exactly is the threshold for percentage of population not allowed to vote that disqualifies a country as a Democracy? Because 1/3 of the population not being allowed to vote is way above any other country deemed a Democracy, even the US with it’s ridiculous disqualifying of felons to vote.
Still its a democracy because the leaders are elected by people, and they rank pretty high in western democracy indices
