Jewish Expansionist Ambitions and Dreams form the Torah
By Engineer Baher Saleh*

The Jordanian Foreign Ministry and the Palestinian Authority Presidency condemned the publication by official accounts, affiliated with the Jewish entity, of maps of the region that include parts of the occupied Palestinian territories, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria, and claim that they are “historical to Israel,” and the two sides denounced calls to annex the West Bank and establish settlements in Gaza.

The Saudi Foreign Ministry followed suit, expressing its rejection of what it described as an “Israeli violation,” and calling on “the international community to play its role in stopping “Israeli” violations against the countries and peoples of the region, and to emphasize the need to respect the sovereignty of states and their borders, to limit the aggravation of the region’s crises, and to undermine efforts aimed at achieving a just and comprehensive peace.” The UAE Foreign Ministry also stressed “the UAE’s categorical rejection of all provocative practices that aim to change the legal status in the occupied Palestinian territories,” and emphasized the need to “put an end to the illegal practices that threaten the two-state solution and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.” The Arab League also condemned the publication of the maps and warned against what it called extremism and counter-extremism.

This step, and the responses to it, deserve to be examined from three angles.

The first angle is its implications and the seriousness of the Jewish entity within it. It is no longer a secret to anyone that the current Jewish leaders have revived their dreams from the Torah, and their expansionist plans in the region have been renewed. This is due to two matters; the Gaza war and the circumstances that caused it and the new political situation that it created, and the re-election of Trump, and the promises he made to the Jews during his election campaign, and then his talk about his vision for resolving the conflict immediately after his victory.

The occurrence of the Al-Aqsa Flood operation on October 7, 2023, the atmosphere of war, the steadfastness shown by the people of Gaza in the face of the criminal war machine of the Jews, and the international coalition led by America shocked the Jewish leaders and made them doubt their ability to live in safety and security in the region within the current borders. They began to see that the survival of their entity in the midst of the boiling Islamic countries depends on their ability to change the borders of their entity and expand them towards what makes their entity have a geographical dimension that moves their defensive capabilities to a qualitative leap.

Therefore, the leaders of the Jews, the right and the extreme right, have become serious in seeking to achieve these plans that are consistent with their dreams from the Torah of the alleged kingdom. For them, the issue is not just dreams threats, that haunt them in their nightmares, but has become an ambition and a goal that they seek to achieve.

What strengthened their sense of ability to achieve these ambitions and plans was the re-election of Donald Trump, as US President, for the next four years. The Jews have previous experience with Trump, and he reminded them of what he offered them during his first term in office, to prove to them his seriousness and ability to take bold steps in the region. He previously recognized the sovereignty of the Jews over the occupied Golan Heights, moved the American embassy to Al-Quds (Jerusalem) and recognized Jerusalem as the eternal capital of their entity, called for the deal of the century and normalization with Muslim countries and initiated that.

Then he went further by hinting during his election campaign at the possibility of allowing the Jews to expand their entity, as he said on August 15, 2024, during his meeting with Jewish groups that formed an alliance to support him in the presidential elections, “When you look at the map, a map of the Middle East, ‘Israel; is a tiny little spot compared to these giant land masses. I actually said: ‘Is there any way of getting more?’”

Then when he was elected, he came back and reinforced the support, and expressed his lack of commitment to the two-state solution to the conflict. Instead, he expressed that he has a deal that leads to peace regardless of the form of the solution.

In conclusion, Jewish leaders are serious about expanding in the region and realizing their dreams from the Torah. They are waiting for the favorable conditions that Trump’s return to power might create, and they are trying, for their part, to expedite the creation of those favorable conditions.

As for the second angle of the event: it is the reactions of our rulers to the incident, and their shameful stance. It became clear that the reactions of the rulers of Jordan, Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, the Palestinian Authority, and the Arab League were weak and shameful responses that reflected their fears for their thrones and chairs, not fear or concern for Palestine and the rights of Muslims.

Their denunciations and condemnations focused on the fear of changing the map of the region, the status quo, and the sovereignty of states. It is the fear that the hands of the Jews would reach their kingdoms and thrones and overthrow them. What worried them was the fear for themselves, and their worn-out thrones, not the fear for Palestine or other Muslim countries.

They made their misfortunes worse when they called for a two-state solution, and the establishment of a weak Palestinian state in response to those plans. That is, they called for strengthening the state of neglect and betrayal instead of rejecting and withdrawing from the treacherous agreements. As usual, they called on the international order to put an end to the arrogance of the Jews and their expansionist dreams instead of mobilizing the armies and forces of the Ummah that are capable of putting an end to the arrogance of the Jews and uprooting the entity from the Blessed Land of Palestine.

The third angle of the event is what those agent rulers expressed, which they called the feelings of extremism and counter-extremism in the region. The Muslim rulers realize that the Islamic Ummah is a living Ummah and it is boiling day after day and is almost out of the control of the rulers. They know that America and the Jews fear that this will happen because it will end colonialism, and therefore they frighten them and warn them against any steps that might ignite the region. This reveals the extent of the heat of the atmosphere in the region and the possibility of it getting out of control at any moment, and that the anger and boiling of the Ummah is like a fire burning under the ashes that only needs a wind to blow to uncover it and bring it to the surface.

Today, more than ever, the Islamic Ummah is required to hasten what the rulers, the West, and the Jews fear and to transform their fears into an actual reality. There is no way to confront the Jews, America, and their colonialist plans, except by removing the agent rulers from their thrones and appointing a righteous Khaleefah (Caliph) who will unify the Ummah and liberate Palestine and all the occupied Muslim countries. Otherwise, the Jews, with America behind them, will continue their expansion, corruption, tyranny, and arrogance.
