In THE GREATER ISRAEL PROJECT: WHAT COMES NEXT, Adam Hoffman delivers the definitive account of the most consequential territorial enterprise of the modern era - the half-century campaign to extend permanent Israeli control over the land between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. Tracing the project from its roots in biblical narrative and Revisionist Zionism through the settlement boom, the collapse of Oslo, the Gaza disengagement, the Abraham Accords, and the shattering recalculation forced by October 7, Hoffman reveals how a network of ideology, law, infrastructure, and transnational political power has quietly transformed the map of the Middle East while the world debated peace plans that were already obsolete. With the analytical rigor of a historian and the narrative clarity of a journalist, he introduces the "three clocks" framework - settlement, demography, and legitimacy - to illuminate the forces racing against one another to determine whether the project becomes permanent or collapses under its own contradictions. Drawing on perspectives from Israeli settlers and Palestinian farmers, far-right ministers and peace activists, Washington lobbyists and Global South diplomats, this is not a book about one side of the conflict - it is a book about the architecture of control itself, who built it, who sustains it, who suffers under it, and what happens when a project this powerful meets a population this determined not to disappear. Essential reading for anyone who wants to understand not just what is happening between the river and the sea, but what comes next.
