The vast majority of Orthodox Jews are pro-Israel, in the sense that they are happy it exists, visit it when they can, and disagree with the people who are criticizing its existence or claiming that it is horribly oppressing the Palestinians.
As to whether they like the government, or think it speaks for them, or has special religious significance, this depends on the individual and the group.
Only a small proportion of Orthodox Jews wish the state had never been created and think that it’s overall a bad thing for Jews and non-Jews.
