Perhaps the Israeli far-right should wake up and join the modern world as well. To insinuate that the obstinate beliefs exist solely on the Arab side is very misleading, given the deluge of rhetoric coming from Israel and Israelis themselves. For example:

A quote from that report from the BBC (a reputable source) in regards to a settler commenting about re-settling Gaza:

"We must do it. It's part of Israel area," he says. "This is the land that God gave us, and you couldn't go to God and tell him, 'OK you gave me, and I gave to other people.' No. I believe in the end we will go back to Gaza."

I ask what this means for the Palestinians.

"They have 52 other places to go in the world," he says, "52 Muslim countries". He says the new Gaza will be "another Tel Aviv".

Smotrich, Ben-Gvir (and even Netenyahu and the Likud party) frequently use narratives of expansion to appeal to nationalist sentiments of a not-insignificant number of Israelis who have a very religious and biblical worldview, and are driven by beliefs in what their God promised. I think "obstinate belief that no one else should govern what they deem their land" is a fitting description of this.

It's not only Arabs that have obstinate positions, and that make dubious claims and seek exclusive rights to land they think belongs to them. This is being driven from both ends, and is a large reason why this conflict is so intractable. Essentially, both sides think God gave them the land.

I would be careful conflating 'historical' with biblical. I think any group whose claims are backed solely with "...because God said so" should be immediately discounted from any serious consideration. Jews, Muslims and Christians tend to do this a lot!
