Christian Zionist:
Thanks guys for the explanations!
Is there any verse in the Talmud encouraging Jews to settle in Israel?
What did famous sages like Rambam, Ramban, Rashi and other commentators say about the establishment of a religious Zionist state in Israel?

To my knowledge none of the Rishonim wrote about it.

Yes many.

The Rambam was very encouraging and extremely Kahanist like and R' Kahane quoted the Rambam a lot. The Rambam wrote that if a leader gathers the Jews together in Israel and tells them to go fight their enemies and conquer the land they must listen to him and obey; and consider him with the presumption that he is the Massiah. Rabbi Akivah who was one of the most famous Rabbis of the Talmud was the main supporter of the Bar Kochba revolt against Rome in Israel.

Until he killed Rabbi Elazar, after which R' Akivah realized that Bar Kochba had failed in his mission as Moshiach.
