Since the current Israeli government was sworn in in 2022, reference to Greater Israel became more common.

Last year, in a documentary, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich was filmed advocating for the expansion of Israeli borders to include Damascus.

He suggested that Israel would gradually grow to encompass not only all Palestinian territories but also parts of Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Syria, Iraq and Saudi Arabia.

“It is written that the future of Jerusalem is to expand to Damascus,” he said, invoking the “Greater Israel” ideology.

Smotrich had previously raised similar ideas during a 2023 memorial service for a Likud activist in Paris.

Speaking from a podium adorned with a map of Israel that included Jordan, he controversially stated that “there is no such thing” as the Palestinian people.

Other ministers and MPs have openly advocated for "taking land" from Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

During the ongoing genocide, an Israeli soldier was pictured with a patch of map of Greater Israel in on his uniform.

The latest incident came earlier this week, when Netanyahu explicitly reaffirmed his commitment to the vision.

His comments came amid ongoing Israeli military occupation of the West Bank, Gaza Strip and parts of southern Lebanon and southern Syria.
