Doesn't include the parts of Syria that Israel just expropriated.
Are you sure you aren't parroting Zionist tropes?
That sea phrase ...

> between the Sea and the Jordan there will only be Israeli sovereignty.
- 1918: At this time, there was no such thing as a state of Israel, nor had there there any administrative district named Palestine nor any Ottoman territory with borders like these. Instead, there was a British Mandate for Palestine. The British did not claim sovereignty but were instead the custodians assigned by the League of Nations to administer the land until sovereignty was established. A better map looks like this: https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/images/mandate1.gif
- 1947: The map here describes the "displacement of Palestinian inhabitants". Ignoring the fact that the term Palestinian was used to describe the Jews at that time, there was no such phenomenon of "displacing Palestinian inhabitants" through 1947; the land transfers were all voluntary purchases. Furthermore, this map confusingly contrasts Jewish settlements with blue colored empty land, as if to suggest that were somehow Arab land. A better map would look like this: https://i.redd.it/1dn46n9vgmw41.png
- 1960: While this is the first map that depicts a sovereign Israel, it conveniently ignores _why_ any Arab inhabitants were displaced: after the UN approved a division of Palestine among Jews and Arabs, the Arabs started a war of annihilation against the Jews, but ultimately lost. Confusingly, this map does not depict the 156,000 Arabs that remained as Israeli citizens (other than perhaps some in the Galilee?).
- 2015: This map oversimplifies the complexities of the Oslo accords, painting Area C as if Israel claimed sovereignty over it (Israel does not), and continues to obscure the ~2 million Arabs living in the state of Israel.

Side note: I'm always curious what people mean when they say "Zionist" here. It would imply that you're not a Zionist, i.e. you don't believe the Jews are entitled to sovereignty. Either you support destroying the state of Israel, or you have a different definition of Zionist I don't understand.
Huckabee, the new US ambassador to Israel, supports both policies per: https://www.timesofisrael.com/trump-ambassador-pick-huckabee...
There is a plan for this though. The pressure is building in the West Bank with attempts to cut PA funding/banking and expanding settlements.

Some like Yair Wallech says the Israeli right is trying to start an uprising so they can pull a Gaza on the West Bank Palestinians:

There just isn't a workable path forward to accomplish it. The Arabs who live there harbor irredentist fantasies to overthrow the Israeli government and replace it with Hamas or some other dictatorial organ, and as long as that is true, Israel has no desire to hand out citizenship to those people.
Of course, the minute that ideology becomes anathema among Palestinian Arabs, the whole point is moot because Israelis will have their security and a two-state solution would immediately become workable.
You forgot the Genocide.
I read about it primarily in the Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz. Here are a few recent articles on the topic, no need to read Osama Bin Laden or Yassar Arafat:
"Trump's Return Is a Victory for Greater Israel, Annexation and Apartheid"
https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2024-11-10/ty-article/.p...
"From Mount Hermon's Peaks, Netanyahu Plots His Vision of a Greater Israel"
https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2024-12-11/ty-article/.p...
"The Greater Israel Ideology of Bezalel Smotrich Has Already Lost"
https://www.haaretz.com/opinion/2024-02-04/ty-article-opinio...
Or you can read the Times of Israel.
"The wind is at their backs. Activists screaming for a Greater Israel want the government to annex Gaza, Judea, and Samaria. Former U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman has published the manifesto."

Saying that I cannot discuss Great Israel when it is a common topic in the Israeli press is just weird and strange gatekeeping.
Whereas the formal, stated policy of the most popular Palestinian political entity (Hamas) is to drive all of the Jews in the Middle East into the sea, there is no serious political movement, much less accepted policy, to "expand opportunistically".
In case you're not sure: Israel is a democracy, and the general public is privy not only to the government's policy, but also the day-to-day squabblings of Israel's parliament.
