What determined Israel's borders after the 1948 War ?


At the conclusion of the War of Independence, in 1949, all of the Arab countries who invaded Israel signed cease fire agreements with Israel, starting with Egypt on February 24 and concluding with Syria on July 20. These agreements specified the interim borders between Israel and the Arab states, as decided by the outcome of the battles.


The territorial result was:

  • The border with Egypt was restored to its previous line, with the exception of the Gaza Strip where Egypt continued in control.
  • The border with Lebanon was restored to its previous line.
  • The border with Syria was restored to its previous line.
  • Jordan retained control of the hill country historically known as Judea and Samaria. This territory was renamed the "West Bank".
  • Jordan controlled the Old City of Jerusalem.
The "1949 Armistice Line" has become known as the "Green Line".


Now, go and see current map of Israel .. see how much land mass it illegally or by force taken in. Israel is the only Country in the world that has increased its border in due time. It looks more like a living parasite.
