Is there a legal basis for Israel to exist as a nation?

Israel has a society with disparate religious, economic, political, and ethnic characteristics given its bizarre inception. Political scholars believe that the Zionist regime's ultimate downfall and increasing instability may be directly attributed to these incongruous social characteristics.
According to international law, any government is required to establish certain features, including a permanent population, a defined territory, and the capacity to exercise effective sovereignty, before other countries could recognise it as a legitimate entity.
Despite this, the Zionist regime lacks the essential elements of a nation-state, namely a stable territory, a permanent population, and legitimate sovereignty, and could not develop a cohesive national identity.
International law guarantees any nation its inherent right to self-determination and sovereignty over its own territory. On the other hand, a people's right to self-determination cannot be exercised unless they are provided with the means to establish an independent country. The Palestinian nation is deprived of this inalienable right.
Despite having lived on their land for millennia, the Palestinian people have had their fundamental human rights systematically violated by the Zionist regime
In order to win popular support, pave the way for the occupation of Palestine, and provide a justification for future atrocities perpetrated by Israel, there is strong evidence suggesting that Zionists issued exaggerated numbers on Jewish losses during World War II.
Also, many experts concur that non-Jewish mobs from Eastern Europe moved to Palestine in the name of Jews to install an anti-Islamic political regime in the heart of the Islamic world, thus dividing the Islamic world into East and West after thirteen centuries.
Since Muslims had no prior knowledge of the Zionists' and their Western supporters' plots, they were at first taken aback. When the Ottoman Empire collapsed, the victors of World War I secretly negotiated the Sykes-Picot Agreement to divide the Islamic nations of the Middle East among themselves. Even before the British were given control over Palestine by the League of Nations, in 1917, the Balfour Declaration promised assistance to the Zionists to create their illegal state in Palestine, which eventually resulted in the forced exodus of the indigenous Muslim people and the steady migration of Jewish settlers.
The Zionist regime has always been under the watchful eye of Western imperialists, first the United Kingdom and now the United States. Therefore, Israel has never had an independent government of its own.
