Jordan denounced on Wednesday Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s comments that he is attached to the vision of “Greater Israel,” calling the remarks a threat to its sovereignty.

Netanyahu told news channel i24 on Tuesday that he feels “very attached” to the vision of Greater Israel. He said he considers himself “on a historic and spiritual mission” that “generations of Jews that dreamt of coming here and generations of Jews who will come after us.”

Greater Israel is a Biblical term used in Israeli politics to refer to the expansion of Israel’s territory to include the occupied West Bank, Gaza, Syria’s Golan Heights, Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula and parts of Jordan.

The Jordanian Foreign Ministry called Netanyahu’s comments “a dangerous and provocative escalation, a threat to the sovereignty of states, a violation of international law and the UN Charter."

“These delusional claims, which are reflected in the statements of Israeli officials, will not affect Jordan and the Arab states and will not diminish the legitimate and inalienable rights of the Palestinian people,” it added in a statement.

The article has the photo above with the caption: “Netanyahu presenting Israel's expansionist vision at the United Nations, unveiling plans for a "Greater Israel,” however this not just misleading, it’s an outright lie.

The actual speech was about promoting a vision of the “New Middle East.” Netanyahu held up this map to illustrate a future of regional peace and prosperity, particularly focusing on the potential for normalized relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia, building upon the Abraham Accords. He was not indicating areas Israel would like to expand to or a vision of “Greater Israel.”

All that said, Netanyahu is a real piece of garbage and I hope he is voted out and actually tried for his alleged crimes.

Trump and Netanyahu are cut from the same cloth.

I'd appreciate the few sentences Netanyahu said before and after this.
