Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tells i24 he feels he is on a “historic and spiritual mission,” and that he is “very” attached to the vision of a Greater Israel.

This to me very much confirms what I and others have been saying for a long time now, the current regime in Israel is expansionist, nationalistic and messianic and the greatest obstacle in reaching peace and end of suffering is Nethyanahu, Likud and their even more right wing allies.

There are two interpretations of "Greater Israel":

1. The Biblical Vision: Land stretching from the Nile to the Euphrates including Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt and even Iraq.
2. The Political Vision: Annexation of the West Bank and Gaza and Syrian Golan heights.

Either of those being the end goal for Nethyanahu seems much more consistent with Israels actions over the last year then just myopic interpretation that they are just "sticking to their war goals of ending Hamas and securing Israel in general".

They have goals, those goals is to annex Gaza and West bank completely and continue disenfranchisement of Palestinians, further solidifying Israel as an apartheid state with Palestinians as second class citizens (at best) or completely ethnically cleansing them.

Another piece of news that hasn't really been discussed but came out recently:

Israel is in talks to possibly resettle Palestinians from Gaza in South Sudan

This is again consistent with the above goals, and it also goes to show how fucked up this is, they want to ship Gazans off to the country that is also an active war zone and in which they'd also face prosecution based on who they are.
