IDF soldiers have been seen wearing a patch on their shoulder called the "greater Israel" patch which shows nation of Israel over much of that area of the ME, including historic Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, portions of Syria and Iraq, Egypt's Sinai and northern Saudi Arabia, with the words written next to the map saying "Promised Land of Israel" in Hebrew.
While the IDF has stated this is not an official part of the uniform it is a growing topic of conversation among ultra-nationalists and comments by Netanyahu last year did nothing to slow it down:
In August 2025, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu voiced strong support for a 'Greater Israel' vision in an interview, amid ongoing Gaza conflict. Settler leader Daniella Weiss publicly affirmed biblical borders spanning Nile to Euphrates in 2024.
When people in Arab countries, their literal neighbors, see or even just think they are wearing patches that show this "Greater Israel" being acted on in real life by literally trying to seize a piece of the land on that image, it's hard to ignore and I just don't think it's going to go well at all
