Which democratic countries / states don't recognise Israel de facto or de jure (the Economist democracy Index)?

Question

Re the right of Israel to exist as a Jewish nation, what are the countries that deny Israel either de facto or de jure and are democracies, defined by being at least 6.00+ on the economist democracy index?

I can't really find a list elsewhere other than manually checking Wikipedia, so I'm just posting an answer based on what I checked on Wikipedia.

Question: But anyway, where could I have found some list that shows this s.t. I didn't need to reinvent the wheel, assuming I'm correct? And if I'm incorrect, then please point out why by either showing such a list or manually double checking my answer. If you show a list, then feel free to use an alternative definition of democracy, hopefully based on a measure/indicator.

Answer 1

I can't really find a list elsewhere other than manually checking Wikipedia, so here's the result of manually checking Wikipedia.

1st

All the states (whether democracy or dictatorship) that don't recognise Israel de jure:

• Afghanistan — Does not accept Israeli passports.
• Algeria — Does not accept Israeli passports.

• Iran — Voted against UN Partition Plan and voted against admission of Israel to membership of UN. Iranian government refrained from recognizing Israel de jure despite de facto recognition. Relations severed on 18 February 1979. Does not accept Israeli passports, and the holders of Iranian passports are "not entitled to travel to the occupied Palestine"
• Iraq — Does not accept Israeli passports, except for Iraqi Kurdistan where visa is required for passengers without a signed and stamped letter issued by the Ministry of Interior of the Kurdistan Regional Government if arriving at Erbil (EBL) and Sulaymaniyah (ISU). Iraqi passports are not valid for travel to Israel.

2nd

Manually (so I could be wrong!) checking each on economist democracy index gives (several democracies for de facto rejection lol ok but) just 4 democracies for de jure rejection:

1. Indonesia - both
2. Jamaica - de jure rejection but de facto acceptance
3. Malaysia - both
4. Trinidad and Tobago - de jure rejection but de facto acceptance

Notes:

1. The only 2 democracies that reject Israel both de jure & de facto are Indonesia & Malaysia. Both are Muslim majority countries.

2. T.E.D. points out TEDI says all 4 are flawed not full. And you might say 'Aha, they're not "real" democracies!' But then again Israel & US are flawed too. So, well, so much for that.
