Netanyahu 'attached' to vision of Greater Israel including parts of Egypt and Jordan

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he feels he is “very” attached to the vision of a "Greater Israel," including parts of present-day Gaza, Jordan and Egypt.

Netanyahu said he is “on a mission of generations. There are generations of Jews who dreamt of coming here and generations of Jews who will come after us,” during an interview with the Israeli broadcaster i24.

Answering a question of whether he is on a mission on behalf of the Jewish people, Netanyahu said, “if you’re asking if I have a sense of mission, historically and spiritually, the answer is yes."

The term "Greater Israel" has historically been used to refer to Israel and territories occupied in the 1967 Six-Day War, as well as areas envisioned by some early Zionists.
