i) It would obviously be cynical for secular Jews to claim God gave them the land.
ii) The Mosaic covenant is defunct. However, the land promises go back to the Abrahamic covenant, which is not defunct.
iii) Observant Jews who reject the Messiahship of Christ are covenant-breakers. Also, many modern-day Jews aren't ethnic Jews. So that's a complicating factor.
iv) Messianic Jews are arguably in a position to claim the land promises. But I think the ultimate fulfillment lies in the world to come.
