In many scenarios where there is a lot of internal fighting and jousting for power, a singular enemy provides a commonality that can be used to bring the various factions together. Israel was the perfect enemy to rally Arabs from all different countries together to form an opposition movement.
After the creation of the Jewish state of Israel, most Arab nations shared a strong opposition to Western influence in the region and a collective rejection of Israel's legitimacy. This stance was rooted in the belief that the establishment of Israel was a direct consequence of Western colonialism and a denial of Palestinian rights. Additionally, Arab nations sought to unify their efforts to support the Palestinian cause and resist perceived encroachments on Arab sovereignty. These common ideas fostered a sense of solidarity among Arab states during this period.
The Arab World is over 500 times the size of Israel and a population that is 47 times the size of Israel.
No, in a very strong, vehement way. Israel represented many negative things to them such as, Arab repression, Jewish ascendance, Western Imperialism, and Division of the Unified Arab Lands.
The Arab League has only ever proffered one solution to the Creation of the State of Israel and that is an unceasing war of elimination, economic boycott, and impermissibility of any dialogue with or recognition of Israel. The Arab League's membership declared war on Israel when the the Jews declared a State. Since the State of Israel has been in existence, the Arab League proposed a solution in 2002 to create a lasting resolution to the Arab-Israeli Conflict called the Arab Peace Initiative. Israel has rejected the initiative since the agreement would require Israel to allow Palestinians the Right of Return not just to the Palestinian Territories but to Israel itself, effectively ending the mission of Israel as the Jewish State. Israel wanted to negotiate further with the Arab League to create a mutually viable solution, but the Arab League refused any negotiation on the terms of the Arab Peace Initiative.

Following the creation of the state of Israel in 1948, several Arab nations reacted strongly, resulting in the Arab-Israeli War. Initially, six Arab countries—Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, and Saudi Arabia—invaded Israel in an effort to prevent its establishment. The conflict marked the beginning of ongoing tensions in the region, with many Arab nations refusing to recognize Israel's legitimacy for decades. This reaction set the stage for a prolonged and complex geopolitical struggle in the Middle East.
Israel is not considered part of the Arab World since the majority of the population is non-Arab and non-Muslim. However, some might include it because Arabic is one of the official languages.
Israel declared statehood in 1948, which was not accepted by the Arab world.
In 1948, the United States angered Arab nations by supporting the establishment of the State of Israel, which followed the United Nations' partition plan to divide Palestine into Jewish and Arab states. This support was seen as a direct affront to Arab sovereignty and aspirations, leading to widespread resentment in the Arab world. The subsequent Arab-Israeli War further escalated tensions, as neighboring Arab countries opposed Israel's creation and sought to defend Palestinian territories.
If Israel had not been created, the Arab countries would not have mobilized forces against it. If the Arab countries had not mobilized forces against Israel, Israel would not have been able to defeat those forces in combat during the Six Day War.
Israel.
The conflict in general is called the Arab-Israeli Conflict. The particular war that erupted due to the Arab Rejection of Israel's Declaration of Independence was the Arab-Israeli War of 1948-9, alternately called the Nakba by Arabs and the Independence War by Israelis.
