That's probably the best description of the situation anyone could make. Israel is in a tough spot where they are custodians of a state that from ~1930 till ~2015 has had the stated goal of destroying Israel. It's only in very recent years that Palestinian sentiment has even toyed with coexisting. Outside of the situation the neighboring states still hold that sentiment and have tried to destroy Israel multiple times since ~1940. It also doesn't help that the pseudo-government of Palestine are current and former terrorists.
All that said Israel's government is very authoritarian and has not handled the custodianship adequately and the people of Israel seem to simply be ignoring the situation.
I just want to add some nuance here as I have family and friends living in Israel - it’s not that the Israeli population is ignoring the situation (see the massive protests against Netanyahu and his goal to override the Supreme Court), it’s just that there is a significant portion of the population that are religious extremists. Many of them do not work and just procreate. They vote diligently and have friends in high places. Most Israelis want to coexist with their Palestinian neighbours but it’s the religious extremists that are ensuring this does not happen.
