‘Greater Israel’ pendants, similar to one gifted to Netanyahu, now being sold

'Israeli' media host Sharon Gal is now selling pendants featuring the “Greater Israel” map he previously gifted to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The gift was presented during a recent interview with 'Israeli' broadcaster i24NEWS, in which Netanyahu described himself as being on a "historic and spiritual mission" for the Jewish people and expressed a strong connection to the "vision of Greater Israel."

The interview, conducted on Tuesday, occurred as his government was preparing to expand military operations into the remaining parts of Gaza.

When asked if he felt a connection to the vision, Netanyahu replied, "Very much," and described his mission as spanning generations.

The concept of "Greater Israel" (Eretz Yisrael HaShlema) refers to the historic or desired borders of ‘Israel’. While biblical definitions vary, the term is now commonly used by ‘Israelis’ to include the territory of the current state of ‘Israel’ along with the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

This ideology has been a foundational tenet of Netanyahu's Likud party, which traces its roots to Revisionist Zionism and its founder, Ze’ev Jabotinsky. Netanyahu has consistently opposed the creation of a Palestinian state, a stance he has reiterated publicly.

Critics argue that the government’s settlement expansion policy is the physical embodiment of the "Greater Israel" vision, creating “facts on the ground” that make a viable Palestinian state impossible.

Some view the ongoing war in Gaza as an accelerated attempt to implement this vision, asserting that the government’s goal is “maximum land, and minimum Arabs.”
