Question: What is the definition of Jewish rule over the Land of Israel? Why is the democratic State of Israel defined on the one hand as embodying the rule of all its citizens (wherein there is a significant percentage of non-Jewish citizens), and on the other hand, it declares itself a state that, according to the Torah, constitutes Jewish sovereignty?
