Israel exists where?Occupations do not acquire sovereignty.RE: The Official Discussion Thread for the creation of Israel, the UN and the British Mandate
※→ P F Tinmore, et al,
With this response, I'm not sure you understand the meaning of sovereignty.
(COMMENT)You people keep confusing military rule with sovereignty.
The matter of sovereignty is vested in supreme authority in a political context; it is not dependent on how that supreme authority is maintained. HOWEVER! In the 139 sovereign member nations of the UN; which of these nations do not have police or military (if not both and more)?
Please don't be so naive as to think that law and order, national defense and internal security are not key components in the politics of 21st Century Nations of successesful nations.
(RHETORICAL: In the top 51 nations ranked Very High Human Development Index, ALL of them have a military force, Police and internal security forces. Separately, every single member of the Arab League have similar enforcement tools. In September 1970 The Palestinian fedayeen groups posed an internal threat in the Hashemite Kingdom in 1970.)
And most certainly, military rule can sustain the sovereignty of a dictatorship; just as it can effect regime change.

Most Respectfully,

ARTICLE 4
States are juridically equal, enjoy the same rights, and have equal capacity in their exercise. The rights of each one do not depend upon the power which it possesses to assure its exercise, but upon the simple fact of its existence as a person under international law.
Sovereignty is a matter of right not might.
Sometimes I honestly wonder if you read your own posts.
"The rights of each (state) do not depend upon he power which it possesses ... but upon the simple fact of its existence... under international law."
It is a simple fact that Israel exists. You can't just pretend that simple fact is not true and make it go away.
It has a border with Jordan to the east. A border with Egypt to the south. Disputed borders with Lebanon and Syria to the north. And the sea to the West.
But what difference does it make? Your own post says "simple fact of its existence". It's a simple fact.
