The Arab League expressed their displeasure after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu backed the idea of ‘Greater Israel’.
During an Israeli television interview, Netanyahu admitted that he felt attached to the idea of ‘Greater Israel’. The Arab nations condemned Netanyahu’s statements, saying that it is an attack on the sovereignty of the Arab states.
Israel’s associate Jordan also slammed Netanyahu, stating that the leader must desist from expansionist plans.
In a statement released Tuesday, the League said these remarks represent a serious threat to collective Arab national security and a flagrant challenge to international law and the principles of international legitimacy.
The statements also reflect expansionist and aggressive intentions that cannot be accepted or tolerated, and they reveal an extremist mindset steeped in colonial delusions.
Within the same contest, Egypt has condemned the statements raised in some Israeli media regarding the so-called “Greater Israel,” while affirming its commitment to establishing peace in the Middle East.
In a statement issued by the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs this evening, Egypt demanded official clarifications regarding these statements due to the indications they carry and that could trigger instability.
