To summarize –
1] The whole idea of 3 shevuot binding halaha lema’aseh today is a davar hashanuy bemahloket.

2] Even if it does apply today in a halaha binding fashion, It is very possible that the establishment of the medina does not contravene it, because of the Mandate [based on the Balfour Declaration] which required a national home and self-governing institutions in EY and the acceptance of 1947 Partition Plan in the UN.

3] Even if the establishment of the medina was against the torah, the continued existence of the medina is not.

4] Even if the continued existence is against the 3 shevuoth , which has no logic at all , its existence is still imperative because of mass pikuach nefesh which is doche the 3 shevuoth.

Since the only matter before us now is the continued existence [and not the establishment] of the medina, we can resolve that there is no inherent issur in the existence of the medina.

We have to make sure to the best of our ability that the medina should be a vehicle for torah true ideals and not chvsh the opposite.

And that it should be a vehicle to safeguard yehudim as much as possible.

Because the medina should not be an idol with the yehudim serving it.
Aderaba , the medina should be serving the yehudim , that way it will not be an idol, and it will come to its tikun.
