Serious Leak: Netanyahu’s Plan Paves the Way for Dismantling the Borders of Arab States

NYN | Reports and analyses 

Hebrew media outlets have revealed that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is preparing to head to Washington carrying what has been dubbed the “Map of the Future”—an expansionist plan that includes annexing vast areas of Palestinian land, as well as parts of southern Lebanon and western Jordan.

According to the leaks, the map goes far beyond the borders set by the Oslo Accords, the Wadi Araba Treaty, and even UN Resolution 242, reflecting an Israeli orientation toward redrawing the region’s political geography based on military superiority and unconditional American support.

A New Cold War

Observers believe that if this move is accurate, it could reopen the files of the Cold War in the Middle East, placing Jordan and Lebanon at the heart of an existential threat amid deafening official Arab silence and growing international concern.

The idea of an expansionist map carried by Benjamin Netanyahu to Washington—one that includes half of Jordan and southern Lebanon—cannot be separated from the political and strategic doctrines discussed within Israeli and Western decision-making circles, most notably the infamous Bernard Lewis Plan. Lewis was not merely an orientalist or academic researcher, but also an unofficial advisor to several Western politicians and the architect of one of the most dangerous visions for dismantling the Middle East by redrawing its borders along sectarian and ethnic lines in a way that guarantees Israel’s security and permanent superiority over its fragmented and weakened neighbors.

Will Bernard Lewis’s Dream Be Realized?

The Bernard Lewis Map, which was discussed within American decision-making centers and adopted early on by the Pentagon—specifically in 1983—was not mere fantasy. It was a gradual project aimed at dividing Iraq, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Iran, and Sudan into small, conflicted states preoccupied with civil wars and incapable of resisting a Greater Israel, which would emerge as the only cohesive power in a tattered and fragmented region.

This plan relied on igniting internal conflicts, fueling extremism, and creating chaotic environments that would facilitate its implementation under the guise of fighting terrorism or spreading democracy.

In this context comes Netanyahu’s map, which is not limited to historic Palestine but extends into Jordanian and Lebanese territory, driven by the belief that the current moment represents the peak of Arab collapse, weak regimes, and the absence of real deterrence.

Dangerous Investment in Arab Silence

Washington, for its part, will likely not oppose the expansion of the Israeli project as long as it serves its interests in the region and prevents the rise of any Arab or Islamic power that could pose a future threat to American and Western influence.

What Netanyahu is doing today is a political investment in the erosion of official Arab will, the exhaustion of surrounding states, and the manipulation of global media in favor of the Israeli narrative, which portrays the assault on Gaza as self-defense while systematically omitting scenes of massacres, destruction, and mass killings. He is fully aware that the continuation of official Arab silence and the indirect complicity of some regimes gives him the green light to push forward in imposing a new reality—one in which Israel redraws borders by force and expansion, not negotiation.

Yet, despite this momentum—backed by Washington and some European capitals—peoples have not remained silent, resistance has not been broken, and the scene remains open to shocking possibilities for the Israeli project. Maps drawn in blood do not last long, and history teaches us that arrogant expansion breeds fierce resistance, and that any plan that excludes the will of the people is ultimately doomed to fail, no matter how feasible it may seem at any given moment.
