Al Jazeera examines the political idea of ‘Greater Israel’
The programme explores a Zionist vision of a state extending from the Mediterranean to Iraq and examines Americans who support it.
Al Jazeera has published a programme examining the idea of a “Greater Israel”, described as a Zionist vision of a state stretching from the Mediterranean to Iraq.
The programme explores the history of the idea and examines Americans who want such a territorial vision to become reality. An accompanying graphic links the concept with Christian Zionism.
The material presents “Greater Israel” as an idea rather than an established political plan or consensus position. It does not clarify whether the programme is addressing current policy, political advocacy or historical ideology.
Al Jazeera does not identify the Americans featured in the supplied material, nor does it provide figures indicating how widespread support for the idea may be in the United States.
The programme was published on 14 September 2026.
