🇮🇱- A picture of an israeli soldier uniform with greater Israel map has been circulating lately online, while one might think this is just a schizo soldier daydreaming of expanding his state's influence and borders, this has been Israel's plan for decades.

Oded Yinon, former official advisor for Ariel Sharon, published a plan in 1982 suggests that Israel should seek to ensure its regional dominance by fragmenting the neighboring Arab states into smaller, weaker entities. This would involve exploiting ethnic, religious, and sectarian divisions within these countries to create a mosaic of smaller, more manageable states.

Key Elements of the Yinon Plan:

1. Jordan: Yinon suggests that Jordan should be transformed into a Palestinian state, thereby ethnically cleansing all palestinians in the west bank to Jordan, resolving the issue of Palestinian nationalism and reducing the demographic and political pressures on Israel.

2. Iraq: The plan calls for the division of Iraq into three distinct entities based on ethnic and sectarian lines: a Kurdish state in the north, a Sunni state in the center, and a Shiite state in the south.

3. Egypt: The plan advocates for the division of Egypt into several smaller states, including a Coptic Christian state, which would weaken the country's central authority and diminish its threat to Israel.

4. Syria: The strategy proposes fragmenting Syria into an Alawite state along the coast, a Sunni state in the center, a Kurdish region in the north, and a Druze state in the south to capitalize on existing ethnic and sectarian divisions.

5. Lebanon: It suggests dividing Lebanon into Maronite Christian, Sunni, Shia, and Druze states to reflect its sectarian diversity and reduce its capability to challenge Israel.

During the George W. Bush administration, several officials and neoconservative thinkers were influenced by similar ideas such as Paul Wolfowitz, Douglas Feith and David Wurmser, following 9/11, these officials promoted aggressive foreign policies that resulted in the destabilization and fragmentation of Iraq and other Middle Eastern countries, aligning with the broader strategic objectives of the Yinon Plan.

With the most extremist far right religious government in israel's history taking power, the plan seems to be reviving among Israeli officials, financial minister Smotrich gave a speech in Paris while standing behind greater israel map, in 2021.
