Gil Galad and his relatives before and after were only kings of the Noldor. They had no power over Thingol's people or the Green Elves of Ossiriland. After the fall of Doriath, there had to be great resentment from the remnant of the peoples of Doriath towards the Noldor added to the suspision and doubt of the Noldor's motives that allready existed. I'm sure in the second age during Gil Galad's reign that some, if not most of the Teleri took him as king, but not all.

I hate to have to repeat myself, but here goes: "but Ingwe was ever held the High King of all the Elves" p. 65 The Silmarillion
