"Greater Israel"

The term “Greater Israel“ has been a contentious and debated concept related to the State of Israel and its territorial boundaries. This article explores the controversial idea of a “Greater Israel” and the various interpretations surrounding it. The concept of a “Greater Israel”, according to the founding father of Zionism Theodore Herzl, is a Jewish State stretching “from the Brook of Egypt to the Euphrates.”

The concept of “Greater Israel” suggests an expanded territorial scope for the State of Israel, extending beyond its current borders. Advocates of this concept often argue for the inclusion of territories such as the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and even parts of neighboring countries like Jordan and Lebanon. The basis for these claims often draws on historical, religious, and nationalist narratives.
