Surprise! The 'Arabs' were right all along about a 'Greater Israel'.
It's always been the plan.
In his Complete Diaries, Vol. II. p. 711, Theodore Herzl, the founder of Zionism, says that the area of
the Jewish State stretches: 'From the Brook of Egypt to the Euphrates.'
Rabbi Fischmann, member of the Jewish Agency for Palestine, declared in his testimony to the U.N.
Special Committee of Enquiry on 9 July 1947: 'The Promised Land extends from the River of Egypt up
to the Euphrates, it includes parts of Syria and Lebanon.'
It was even codified and published in the 1980s as the Yinon Plan.
The Yinon Plan was a document written in Hebrew by Oded Yinon. It was translated into English in 1982 by the anti-Zionist activist Israel Shahak.
Shahak writes in the foreword:
