Israel has no defined borders because the Israeli state has never attempted to assert a claim to formal borders. To assert the 1967 ceasefire line would invalidate the colonial settlement project; to claim the mandatory borders would run afoul of the whole post-WWII prohibition on territorial aggrandizement through conquest.

So the Israeli state deliberately eschews formal borders to exploit the resulting ambiguity.
