ABSTRACT

The Jewish position as regards the eastern boundary was already presented in 1915, in Shmuel Tolkowsky’s essay, which was later adopted by the Zionist leadership.2 As present before, according to Tolkowsky’s view, the eastern boundary of Eretz Israel should start next to the town of Bosra, which is situated on latitude 32°30N, in the foothills of the Druze mountain, east of the Hijaz Railway.
