Israel was created and approved by the UN, following a UN partition offer, in 1947, that was rejected by Arab countries that controlled the parts of the area, that were not part of the part that was offered to Israel.
You can debate whether Jewish European refugees were legally entitled to Arab properties in the part that's Israel, but then we would have to debate whether the Wallowa Valley belongs to the descendants of Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce.
What happened since, is an illegal occupation of the West Bank, and the Golan Heights. The latter was annexed, with US blessing during the Trump administration.
Today, Netanyahu leads an extremist, Orthodox government, and he stopped pretending that he does not want to kick the occupants of the West Bank and make it part of Israel. That's illegal under "International law".
Sec. Blinken is trying to negotiate, but the damage was already done during the Trump administration, when he put his idiot son-in-law in charge. There will be a lot of violence.
