Likud government and charter explicitly calls for all land between the river and the sea to be for Jews.
That is a territorial/sovereignty claim (i.e., rejecting Palestinian sovereignty/statehood in that space). It is not an explicit call to kill, expel, or physically destroy Palestinians, nor does it literally say “for Jews only.”
Under the Genocide Convention, genocide requires specific intent (“intent to destroy, in whole or in part”) a protected group, plus one of the listed genocidal acts (killing; causing serious harm; inflicting conditions of life calculated to bring about physical destruction; preventing births; forcibly transferring children).

You are incorrect.
The official policy of the current government of Israel is ”the Jewish people have an exclusive right on all the land” between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River.” per the coalition agreement the Likud-led government made in 2022: https://archive.is/EYGLU
