In a provocative press conference, Yair Lapid claimed that Israel has the potential to advance its borders up to Iraq. He emphasized that the foundation of Zionism is rooted in the Bible, asserting that Israel’s borders are defined by what he termed ‘biblical boundaries.’
Lapid stated, ‘The title deed of Israel to its land is the Torah, and the borders are determined based on it.’ His remarks suggest a belief that Israel’s territorial claims are not only historical but divinely sanctioned.He further claimed that if security political and timing considerations are adequately addressed Israel’s territory could feasibly extend into Iraqi land. This assertion raises significant questions about the implications of such territorial ambitions and the ongoing geopolitical dynamics in the region.
