YA!
Why don’t they declare Jordan!?!?
Or, a....Iran!?!?

Unilateral declarations don’t count for much.
They may have trouble defending any such claim.

“America’s Shiny New Palestinian Militia
No matter how events play out, this story ends with U.S.-trained soldiers pointing their guns at Israel.
‘The stupidest program the U.S. government has ever undertaken” — last year that’s
what I called American efforts to improve the Palestinian Authority (PA) military force.
Slightly hyperbolic, yes, but the description fits because those efforts enhance the
fighting power of enemies of the United States and its Israeli ally.

First, a primer about the program, drawing on a recent Center for Near East Policy
Research study by David Bedein and Arlene Kushner: Shortly after Yasir Arafat died in
late 2004, the U.S. government established the Office of the U.S. Security Coordinator to
reform, recruit, train, and equip the PA militia (called the National Security Forces or
Quwwat al-Amn al-Watani) and make them politically accountable. For nearly all of its
existence, the office has been headed by Lt. Gen. Keith Dayton. Since 2007, American
taxpayers have funded it to the tune of $100 million a year. Many agencies of the U.S.
government have been involved in the program, including the State Department’s Bureau
of Diplomatic Security, the Secret Service, and branches of the military.”

They cannot “declare a state” at this time. If they did, that would mean that the “borders” as they now stand would be it. The other Arab nations would recognize that “state”, as would all Muslim nations and a good portion of the rest of the world. Once those borders are “recognized” as legitimate, they cannot then claim more territory for themselves and the “recognition” would be de facto recognition of ISRAEL’S BORDERS as well...................

State of confusion, state of anarchy...

Animals don't have states. That's why even in some languages you use different declension cases for human languages versus animal calls e.g. in Russian

По Русский (in Russian, infinitive case) but

По крысыному (rat imitation, dative case)

precisely because rats don't have and never will have any sort of a nation or state. Same applies to the palisavages.
