In his column for Middle East Eye, veteran journalist David Hirst examines the growth of religious Zionism, unpicking how figures such as Ben Gvir and Smotrich have not only risen to power but come to represent large swathes of Israeli society, and asks what the future of the Jewish state holds over a year into its wars on Gaza and Lebanon.
Hirst says: "Israel's official objective was mutating, unofficially but effectively, into something quite other, into nothing less, in fact, than another great advance in God’s unfolding design for his chosen people – full Jewish rule over all of Palestine from the river to the sea".
