Is a Greater Israel Emerging?

Is the Netanyahu Government pursuing a "Greater Israel" agenda? Rooted in Biblical aspirations and Zionist visions, this concept has long been a subject of intense debate. Critics argue that Israel's policies, including the massive growth of settlements and its annexation rhetoric, align with a long-term vision of expanding control over historic lands. They also point to Netanyahu’s alliances with far-right religious Zionist parties, some of which openly advocate for extending Israeli territory to include all of Biblical Israel, as evidence of a broader strategy. Meanwhile, others claim that these actions are defensive measures in response to ongoing threats from groups like Hamas and Hezbollah, with no intention of formal annexation beyond the Golan Heights. By exploring the history of the concept of Greater Israel, this video explores whether the Netanyahu government’s recent actions—settlement expansions in the West Bank, the Gaza war, and military operations in Lebanon and Syria—signal territorial ambitions or are simply a response to complex security challenges. By examining key events like the Six-Day War, the peace agreements with Egypt and Jordan, and the debates over the two-state solution to uncover whether the idea of "Greater Israel" is becoming a reality—or remains a polarising myth. *MY LATEST BOOK!* Secession and State Creation: What Everyone Needs to Know Oxford University Press https://global.oup.com/academic/product/secession-and-state-creation-9780190494049 Amazon https://amzn.to/2MPY3W2 Audiobooks.com https://www.audiobooks.co.uk/audiobook/secession-and-state-creation-what-everyone-needs-to-know/637281 *SUPPORT THE CHANNEL* Hello and welcome!
