You can't "realistically do" what just about every nation on Earth is doing?
What other states do refuse to even say what they themselves consider their own definitive borders? I could find China/Taiwan and North/South Korea. In the latter case, they both claim it all, China keeps some thing vague like the "Nine-Dash Line", and Taiwan claims "all of China" because outlining their territory as just their island would come across as claiming independence or whatever.
In the case of Israel it is because they (well, the right-wing extremists that are in charge anyway) are belligerent, don't view themselves as bound by agreements with anyone anyway, always want to keep the option to grab more. No need for mental gymnastics.
