I read about it primarily in the Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz. Here are a few recent articles on the topic, no need to read Osama Bin Laden or Yassar Arafat:
"Trump's Return Is a Victory for Greater Israel, Annexation and Apartheid"

Or you can read the Times of Israel.
"The wind is at their backs. Activists screaming for a Greater Israel want the government to annex Gaza, Judea, and Samaria. Former U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman has published the manifesto."

Saying that I cannot discuss Great Israel when it is a common topic in the Israeli press is just weird and strange gatekeeping.
