According to Google translate, the exact quote is:

מדינת ישראל חייבת לשלוט ביטחונית הכל השטח מערבת הירדן.

"The State of Israel must control the security of all the territory west of the Jordan."

Reverso:

"The State of Israel must control the security of everything from the Jordan Valley."

That's a very alarmist interpretation.

The article admits in the first paragraph that it's a possible mistranslation. If you've been following the rhetoric then you know this is not a new stance, it is a reiteration of the existing question of what body will administer Gaza after the war. Biden has said that the PA should be "revitalized" and assume control of Gaza. Netanyahu has said that the PA lacks the capability, credibility, and capacity to do so. As far as credibility, it's hard to imagine that Israel is the better option. The idea that Netanyahu is better than the admittedly unpopular Abbas is risible.

Egypt has flat out refused to take on the job, the Arab league has floundered.

It seems like the best solution would be a UN transitional force that would rebuild Gaza with financial support from Qatar and UAE, who have expressed willingness. They would be responsible for maintaining order following the power vacuum of removing Hamas, PIJ, etc. They would have to bolster the PA, establish a police force, systems of governance, and roll out the transition for a peaceful transition of power to the PA (or a newly created body).

That's no small task. The last thing anyone wants is another Afghanistan. The USA spent decades and billions of dollars to remove the Taliban and establish a democratic system. They finally admitted that it hadn't worked and handed everything back over to the Taliban.

The alternate translation is "everything west of the Jordan River". It's the same thing, just not in a prepackaged sound bite.

From sea to shining sea.

Has nobody realized how analogous it is?

I'm tired of idiots saying that and analyzing it.
