The State of Israel if it does not want to abide by International Law it can withdraw itself from the United Nations. The same United Nations which provided the original authorization for its nation state.

Maybe they should do that, then it will not undo a recognition that has already been pronounced. Maybe then even more countries will leave. As far as I'm concerned an excellent development, because Russia also does not adhere to anything
