Biblical Israel (snagged 2015-08-02) From the Mediterranean coast to a point on the South edge of the Sea of Galilee/ Genezereth/ Tiberias/ Kinneseret/ Chinnereth/ Kenret at the Jordan river is 50-55 miles (i.e. the distance across Galilee). From the Jordan (between the Salt/Dead Sea & the Sea of Galilee) to Easternmost Israeli lands would be about 17.5-25 miles.

1947-11-29 the UN hatched the scheme to take land from Israel to fabricate the "West Bank"
1948-05-14 at re-establishment of Israel: Egypt, TransJordan, Saudi Arabia, Iraq (all 3 ruled by relatives & associates of a regime created with the aid and guidance of England during WW2), & Lebanon invaded Israel
1949 armistice lines put Palestine=Gaza Strip under Egyptian rule, fictive "West Bank" under TransJordan rule, Syria had made incursions in Galilee, Golan Heights area, leaving several towns occupied
1950-04-24 through 1988-07-31, TransJordan invaded Israel & occupied fictive "West Bank" area of Judea & Samaria, Israel
1967-06-05 through 1967-06-10 Israel re-took Israel, Palestine, and the Sinai peninsula... then gave back the Sinai peninsula to Egypt, gave TransJordan the land East of the Jordan river, and set aside Palestine = the Gaze Strip for the "Palestinians"

neighbors wage war against Israel 1973-10-06 through 1973-10-25 after which Israel gave back the Sinai peninsula and Suez canal to Egypt, returned some of the territory after driving back Syria from Galilee
1982, after incursions by Hizbollah & PLO, Israel re-established the border with Lebanon
2021-12-13: Douglas J. Feith: Mosaic Magazine: Hudson Institute: the forgotten history of the term "Palestine" Yes, there was land East of the Jordan river that was part of Israel. That's no longer a point of contention. Yes, the British, in payment for help against the Ottoman empire, gave Iraq and Trans-Jordan to an Arabic family. Most Israelis willingly accept that. The "West Bank", and boundaries of Palestine=Gaza Strip & of Lebanon are where the combat is continuing, with a little terrorism within Israel by occupying "Palestinians" thrown in. President Trump's "Abraham Accords" at least suggested some expansion of Gaza Strip=Palestine to the SE, because there's no way they are going to give up more land closer to Jerusalem & Tel Aviv for Hamas & Iran to base missile barrages. At one point, Israel defeated invaders and pushed them back East of the Jordan, back across the Sinai peninsula. Giving up those areas was a generous concession.
