Netanyahu’s ‘Greater Israel’ vision is ‘an old idea’: Ex-US diplomat
Nabeel Khoury, a former US diplomat, has spoken to Al Jazeera about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s vision for a so-called “Greater Israel”.
“This is an old idea that dates back to … the early rise of the world Zionist movement,” Khoury said. “The idea was that it was a compromise to establish the state of Israel on only roughly two-thirds” of Palestine, he explained, but that Israel would eventually expand “to what they think religiously appeal[s] to most Jews around the world”.
It's all outlined in Theodor Herzl's 1896 "Der Judenstaat" / "A Jewish State"

The 2/3rds isn't mentioned, the pamphlet doesn't mention any end to expansion, but does detail all the mechanisms to achieve an ethno-state using colonial mechanisms. A pamphlet for settler colonialism to bring 'civilization' among barbarism.
Also debunks Palestinians as a new term. Already well known when still part of the Ottoman Empire. (1516-1918)
Israeli military spokesman says Gaza City residents will inevitably be forced out
The Israeli military’s Arabic-language spokesman Avichay Adraee has said residents of Gaza City, which Israeli military plans to seize, will inevitably be forced out.
He identified al-Mawasi, where there have been near-daily attacks, as one of the southern areas residents could move to.
In a post on X, Adraee claimed families forced southward will receive “the maximum humanitarian assistance” – ignoring the Israeli military’s history of choking Gaza of aid generally, pushing Palestinians into displacement zones with meager conditions and regularly waging deadly attacks on designated safe zones and aid seekers.
“The evacuation of Gaza City is unavoidable,” Adraee said.
