#Firstpost Netanyahu’s “Greater Israel” Plan Sparks Row; Saudi Arabia, Egypt React | Spotlight | N18G

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ignited a firestorm after publicly affirming his “connection” to the concept of a “Greater Israel” in a recent interview. The idea, rooted in certain biblical and historical interpretations, envisions an expanded Israel that could encompass parts of modern-day Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia. Arab nations reacted sharply. Jordan called the statement a “dangerous escalation.” Egypt warned of threats to stability, Qatar deemed it “arrogant,” Saudi Arabia rejected “expansionist projects,” and the Arab League denounced a “violation of sovereignty.” The Palestinian Authority said the comment undermines the two-state solution. While some view “Greater Israel” as a symbolic or spiritual notion, far-right proponents see it as a territorial goal.
