Israeli opposition leader supports territorial expansion as ‘broad as possible’ | Arab News

DUBAI: Israel’s opposition leader Yair Lapid has said he supports Israeli territorial expansion “as broad as possible,” including areas extending toward Iraq, describing the idea as rooted in Zionist and biblical principles. Speaking at a news conference on Monday, Lapid said he backed any policy that would secure what he described as a “large, broad, strong land” for Jews and future generations. “Zionism is based on the Bible,” Lapid was quoted as saying, adding that what he described as the biblical borders of the land of Israel form the foundation of his views on territorial claims.
