For decades, the idea of a “Greater Israel” has occupied a controversial place in Middle Eastern politics. To some supporters, it represents a vision of historical and strategic security for the Jewish state. To critics, it reflects territorial ambitions that conflict with Palestinian aspirations and regional stability.
Today, however, Professor Jiang Xueqin argues that the concept faces increasing strategic challenges. In his analysis, the changing realities of the Middle East, shifting global alliances, demographic pressures, and international political trends are creating obstacles that make the traditional vision of regional expansion increasingly difficult to sustain.
The debate is not only about territory. It is about the future identity, security strategy, and geopolitical position of Israel in a rapidly transforming region.
The idea of a Greater Israel has different interpretations depending on political perspective. For some religious and nationalist movements, it refers to historical and biblical connections to territories beyond Israel’s current borders. For others, it has been associated with political projects involving expanded territorial control.
