1. A Community of Nations.
Genesis (TCT) 28:
3 AND MAY THE ALMIGHTY GOD BLESS YOU AND MAKE YOU FRUITFUL AND MULTIPLY YOU, AND YOU SHALL BECOME AN ASSEMBLY (Hebrew: "Kahal") OF PEOPLES (Hebrew: "Amim").
Commentary "Ha-Emek Davar" on Genesis 28:3:
# "Kahal" means Ten as explained in the Talmud (Ketubot, 7;b), and "Amim" (Peoples) means those who are recognizable by their unique customs as entities on their own recognition... meaning to say that the offspring of Jacob should be 10 peoples. [This is referring to the Ten Trbies as distinct from Judah and Benjamin.]
i.e. each Tribe would have its own custom and leader. They would all be different from each other.
Only the Tribes of Benjamin and Judah would have one leader (for both together), and Levi would be scattered among the other Tribes.
And the Tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh would have one king over the both of them, i.e. a community (commonwealth) of peoples.
(This King would be subservient to the King of Judah and Benjamin, i.e. of the House of David).#
Nevertheless all the Tribes together they were supposed to all have only one Torah and one King.

2. Commentary to the Commentary:
Suggested Conclusions from "Ha-Emek Davar":
(1. The Division between Judah and the 10 Tribes was destined from the beginning. This is what we have now.
(2. Judah and Benjamin were supposed to end up as they now are, i.e. not as separate Tribes but as an amalgamated entity. This is what we have now.
(3. The 10 Tribes were supposed to be 10 separated entities each different from the other. This is what we have now. but there seems to be more than 10 Lost Israelite polities:
Ireland (Asher), France (Reuben), Switzerland (Issachar), Belgium (Benjamin), Netherlands (Zebulon), Denmark (Dan), Norway (Naftali), Sweden (Gad), (Finland), UK and daughters (Ephraim), USA (Manasseh).
(4. British (Ephraim: UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada), and the Americans should unite in a loose federation with the King of Ephraim over them all but America retaining something of its Republican character.
(5. We have accepted the opinion of the Hatam SofterWe have accepted the opinion of the Hatam Softer (see RABBIS QUOTED https://hebrewnations.com/articles/sources/rabbisquoted.html ) that the Land of Israel was to include the Atlantic Coastline reaching up to and probably including North America. We would this extending (as potentially convertible) to include Australia and New Zealand.
(6. The Commenatory quoted above "Ha-Emek Davar" (see RABBIS QUOTED https://hebrewnations.com/articles/sources/rabbisquoted.html ) as from "Ha-Natziv".
Extract:
He stresses matters of importance to us such as the uniquely individual character of each Israelite Tribe; the inter-action of the Tribe of Judah with that of Manasseh; the different tribal traits of Levi as compared to Judah; etc. The Netziv however considered the Lost Ten Tribes to have have re-joined the Jewish People apparently considering Judah to be the Sepharic Jews and the Lost Ten Tribes the Ashekanazim.
the Land of Israel was to include the Atlantic Coastline reaching up to and probably including North America. We would this extending (as potentially convertible) to include Australia and New Zealand.

4. Problems still be Resolved:
Belgium. The identification with Benjamin fits the criteria BUT other solution should be considered.
Switzerland and Finland both have been identified with Issachar. Both countries fit the requirement but need to be strengthened.
All Israelite nations have some degree of non-Israelite populations amongst them. In some cases they may be in the majority or close to it.The Commentator Rashi (1040 -1105) on Obadiah 1:20 says that the Lost Ten Tribes came to France. Elsewhere however he identifies France with Edom.
The term "Edom" (i.e. Esau) could also be used as generic name for all Christendom.
