I happen to have R’ Mintz’s book, and looked it up. Here is what he writes:

“We should mention that, under the current conditions, where the government has already been created, most authorities maintain that the situation has changed. With the animosity of the Arabs a reality, dismantling the Israeli government would be extremely dangerous. That is why our focus has become to work within the framework of what we have, and try to make the government and the country as religion-friendly as possible.”

This is something I’ve written about before. Many Rabbonim changed their stance once the State was established. The Religious Zionism of today still yearns for the geulah, but also tries to work within the system that exists.
