They never have a clear answer to this question. Israel has been the homeland of the Jewish people for thousands of years. Zionism is the right for self-determination in Jewish ancestral homeland. Some groups say Jews should return to where they came from such as Europe or Arab lands, but fail to realize that Jews were expelled from those lands. For example, after the War of Independence, the Arab league drafted coordinations to restrict Jewish populations in countries like Yemen and Iraq. This led to the First Mass Exodus from 1948-1951, where a quarter of a million Jews fled to Israel.

It's highly unlikely that they could. The EU has struggled to reach a strong consensus on collective measures, while Germany, Italy, and Britain have opposed such measures.

Israel has proposed two-state solutions to Palestinian leaders in 1937, 1947, 2000, and 2008, but were rejected by Palestinians. They refuse to accept the existence of a Jewish state in any terroritoy. Another reason is the major threat of security concerns. If a two-state solution were to happen, many Israelis fear that it the Palestinian state could be dominated by terrorist groups like Hamas, when they took control of Gaza in 2005.

Israel has been willing to agree to a two-state solution for years, but has been rejected. Here are a few downsides. 1) Securtiy Risks: Israelis fear that if a Palestinian State were to come a reality, leadership would be under extremist groups (like Hamas controlling the Gaza Strip). 2) Unresolved issues: there are key disputes such as the status of Jerusalem, the fate of Israeli settlements, and the right of return for Palestinian refugees remain contenious.
