Why is Israel afraid of the establishment of a Palestinian state?

Since October 7, Israel has killed over 35,000 innocent civilians in Gaza, forced more than 1 million people to flee, and even prevented humanitarian aid from entering, which is affecting the world's view of Palestine. In Europe, Norway, Spain, and Ireland have officially decided to recognize Palestine. Additionally, it is known that many other countries will follow these steps. Retaliation Steps: However, the steps taken by the Netanyahu government are not limited to this. The government also plans to acquire new authorities, which include: These steps taken by Israel are seen as an indication of its unpreparedness and lack of planning against the recognition of the Palestinian State, which is described as a tsunami. An Israeli Policy: No Breathing, No Dreaming Known as the 'partition' decision at the time, Resolution 181 was adopted with 33 votes in favor, 13 votes against, and 10 abstentions. The area designated for the Arab state comprised Western Galilee, Acre, the West Bank, and a part of the southern coast extending from north of Ashdod to Rafah in the south, covering 11,000 square kilometers. The third section, which included Jerusalem and Bethlehem along with other neighboring areas, was to be managed under international trusteeship. The UN resolution was not fully implemented due to Israel's expansionist policies. Jewish organizations took control of most Palestinian territories in 1948. In November 1967, the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 242, calling for Israel's withdrawal from the occupied territories. Currently, there are approximately 250 illegal Jewish settlements in the West Bank, occupied by Israel since the 1967 war. Over 500,000 Jewish settlers live in these settlements. Why is the Recognition of Palestine as a 'State' Frightening? This situation has prevented the presentation, understanding, and validation of Palestinian theses. However, what has happened in Gaza since October 7 seems to have started changing this reality. The continuation of the recognition of Palestine could lead to the criticism of Israel's policies in the occupied territories and to the international community raising its voice about the violation of Palestinian rights. Israel's Fear: What Happens if the Palestinian State is Established? While Israel continues its Apartheid system, disproportionate violence, killings, house demolitions, displacement, settler violence, and violations of the status of Al-Aqsa Mosque in the occupied Palestinian territories, there is no political horizon to preserve the option of a two-state solution according to international legitimacy. However, the idea of establishing a Palestinian State still remains a great source of fear for Israel. So, what are the reasons Israel opposes the establishment of a Palestinian State? - Land: The establishment of a Palestinian State means that Palestinians would reclaim at least part of their occupied territories. A geographically unified Palestinian State would mean Israel losing land. Since its establishment, Israel has pursued an expansionist policy, trying to leave no connection even between Palestinian villages with its settlements. - International Status: The establishment of a Palestinian State could increase international pressure on Israel. Especially, it could face accusations of massacres and genocide committed to date. Currently, Israel claims to be the sole authority in the occupied territories and continues to kill and destroy, claiming that only it has the authority to use force. The establishment of a Palestinian State could make it difficult for Israel to continue its current policies. All of this could lead to international isolation or economic sanctions against Israel.
