Let's say Israel decides to fully relinquish control over Gaza and the West Bank, which then form a fully-fledged UN member state.
What happens in Galil and Golan, two provinces that have majority (soon to be overwhelming majority) arab populations?
What happens in 2035 when the Israeli arab population finally outnumbers the jewish population?
Will the arabs simply vote to change the name of the country?
Does the Israeli establishment have a plan when this happens?
No. The Jews will never relinquish control of the country until they are made to be more inclusive.
Can you blame them though? It's a Jewish state. The Arabs already took over North Africa and the Middle East- do they really need Israel too?

Aren't the orthodox jews breeding like crazy, though?

Just imagine it; a country that is 50% muslims and 45% haredim
It will be glorious
They'll "mow the lawn" like they always do.
Gaza and the West Bank isn't a viable state. It's bisected straight down the middle by Israel if you can't notice. It's reliant on Israel for almost all of its infrastructure and resource needs. This is of course assuming the jews just evacuate their walled city enclaves in the West Bank in the first place.
The two-state solution was never an option, it was a pipedream. Now the radicals want -all palestine- or the moderates want Israeli citizenship so they can get voting rights. Either option is pretty disastrous for the jews (the latter for reasons you just outlined), which is why the status quo has prevailed for so long.
