The Soviet Union was the first country to recognize Israel on May 17, 1948, less than a week after the Israeli Declaration of Independence. When the Israeli leadership pushes for Arab countries to recognize Israel as a Jewish State, what they actually mean is that want the Arab countries not just to recognize the Israeli government, but the right for Israel to be primarily Jewish State. A number of Arabs outside of government make a sort-of-work-around for accepting Israel in that they accept Israel as a country controlling a certain piece of planet, but believe all of the Palestinians who used to live there and all of their descendants should be allowed to return. If this happened Israel would become an Arab majority country and defeat the entire purpose of Zionism (the belief that there should be a Jewish State) and Israel's existence. As a result, Israeli leadership presses the Arabs to recognize Israel as it is, not Israel as they would like it. In the case of the USSR, which recognized Israel first, the USSR was quite willing to recognize Israel according to the tenets of Zionism, so although the term "recognize Israel as a Jewish State" was not used, the intent was the one desired by those who use those magic words.
