Even after 77 years, there is still no agreement on the borders of this land. On the one hand, the State of Israel withdrew from Sinai, carried out the disengagement from Gaza, and divided Judea and Samaria into Areas A, B and C. On the other hand, it liberated Jerusalem, settled Judea and Samaria, returned to control the Gaza Strip, and even conquered the Syrian Hermon. Perhaps it is no surprise that throughout history, the borders of this land have always been fluid.
What did a border look like in ancient times? How can archaeologists identify borders in the field? And is it even possible to draw a precise boundary of the land our forefathers dreamed of returning to?
In this episode of Israel Unearthed, we journey between borders, maps, dreams and hopes, from the Hermon River in the north, through Judea and Samaria, and down to the border of the Gaza Strip.
