[Avodah] Borders of Eretz Yisrael - Rashi

[Rabbi Ari Enkin]

A Rashi that has always been bothering me is again "coming up".

On Bamidbar 34:6

The western border: it shall be for you the Great [Mediterranean] Sea and 
the border this shall be your western border.

RASHI-

The western border And what was the western border?
[It shall be for you] the Great Sea As a boundary. and the border. The 
islands in the sea are also included in the border. These islands are called 
isles in old French. — [Gittin 8a]

COULD THIS MEAN THAT CYPRUS MAY BE CONSIDERED ERETZ YISRAEL?
