Sort of ... they don't elect the PM directly, they elect representatives.
Netanyahu put together a coalition of right-wing conservative reps who were all willing to vote him in as PM, so he was elected ... but by them, not the Israeli people.
Of course, the fact that that many conservative nutjobs (that were willing to join a coalition with him) were elected in the first place just speaks to Israel's future ... or lack thereof.
