Is Benyamin Netanyahu Likud's party

expecting to expand Israel to the territory


the Torah assigned to the twelve tribes?

loves nuance.
No. And it never has been - for any Israeli government.
Remind you, the Jews of Palestine happily accepted the Partition Plan that gave Israel
even less land than it has currently, and the Government has been giving 'Land for Peace'
since the war in '67.
Don't confuse a desire not to pull out of the entire West Bank as expansionist - apart from
Jerusalem, the considerations for a pull-out are primarily security and what to do with the
current residents (the legality of their living in the area notwithstanding).
For most religious Jews (note, not the government) there is an additional desire to be able
to visit areas with historical and religious significance without fear of death. They believe
that under non-Jewish rule, it will be dangerous or they won't have access, and use
Joseph's Tomb (one visit per month is allowed under heavily armed guard, since several
Israelis were lynched several years back), Rachel's Tomb and the Tomb of the Partiarchs
(the site of many attacks on Jews each year), and Temple Mount (need armed guard, are
verbally and sometime physically abused, aren't allowed to pray) as examples, as well as
President Abbas' past statements and those of the PA that a Palestinian state would be
judenrein.
The small group of ultra-orthodox Jews who do believe that a Jewish state should include
the biblically promised borders are actually anti-Israel, and believe that a Jewish State
(including those borders) will be given by God and the messiah, and not through the
conquest of man.
