Answer 1

No, of course not. Israel became a legal nation on May 14, 1948.

Answer 2

Long Answer: In terms of international law, Israel is fully legitimate in its control of all territories acquired according to the armistices of 1949 pending a full and final border resolution through peace treaties. However, the areas of the West Bank and the Golan Heights (including East Jerusalem and the Eastern border of the Sea of Galilee) are areas that Israel holds pursuant to UN Resolution 242. According to this Resolution, Israel is allowed to administer, but not own the territories until a final resolution is reached. Israeli laws such as the Jerusalem Unification Act in 1980 and the Annexation of the Golan Heights in 1981 violate this standing in international law and may be seen as foreign occupation. Additionally, the numerous Israeli-built settlements in the West Bank are also a form of occupation contrary to the intent of UN Resolution 242.

Short Answer: Most of Israel's land belongs to it legally, but there are some areas under Israeli control that are considered to be occupied illegally.
