No, Benjamin Netanyahu and Likud are not expecting to expand Israel to the biblical borders described in the Torah. While some religious Jews desire access to religious sites in the West Bank without security risks, most recognize that Israel has pursued a policy of land for peace. Maintaining a security presence in the West Bank is not considered expansionist by the government. Only a small ultra-orthodox group believes the messiah will establish biblical borders through divine means rather than political negotiations.

the Torah assigned to the twelve tribes? Dovid LevineDovid Levine, Immigrated from the US in '05, volunteered on both side, 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. http://www.quora.com/Is-Benyamin-Netanyahu-Likuds-party-expecting-to-expandIsrael-to-the-territory-the-Torah-assigned-to-the-twelve-tribes
