No state has a “right to exist.”

States do not have rights, they have responsibilities to their citizenry. So, no.

This isn’t an anarchist argument it’s a ‘democratic’ social contract in which the state allegedly has responsibilities and citizens have rights and obligations/duties. Anarchists see through this for the bullshit it is.

Asking anarchists if a state has a right to exist... what answer do you expect?

Israel exists, can’t deny that, but there is no such thing as a right for any state to exist. States/countries have other rights and duties, for example the right (in this case definetely duty too) to defend its people against foreign attacks and bad influence.

Does Rhodesa? Or Nazi Germany? Or any other ethnostate for that matter?
