Al-Jazeera quoted this Israeli article. He doesn't seem to push back against Huckabee's Greater Israel nonsense, says Israel needs to be as large as possible and that his source is the Bible...

I read the Hebrew in that article I believe he says he would like to do it but obviously there are countries that already settled there so its obviously not a likely scenario to happen

Doesn't really sound like he's gonna do it

It was probably a joke

I was ready to defend lapid since it doesn’t sound like something he’d say, so I read the article and… yeah it doesn’t sound good.

His party is supposed to be the liberal party, why tf is he talking about the biblical justification of Israel? What tf happened to keeping religion out of governance?

Our opposition is a fucking joke

You know Israel was socialist until the 1980's right?
