1) It shows the state of Israel delimited by Armistice Demarcation Lines. The 1949 Armistice Agreements (agreed to by Israel) specifically say;

Egypt/Israel - Article 4. 3. "It is emphasized that it is not the purpose of this Agreement to establish, to recognize, to strengthen, or to weaken or nullify, in any way, any territorial, custodial or other rights, claims or interests which may be asserted by either Party in the area of Palestine or any part or locality thereof covered by this Agreement, whether such asserted rights, claims or interests derive from Security Council resolutions, including the resolution of 4 November 1948 and the Memorandum of 13 November 1948 for its implementation, or from any other source. The provisions of this Agreement are dictated exclusively by military considerations and are valid only for the period of the Armistice." [1]

Lebanon/Israel - Art 2. 2. "(a) The provisions of this agreement being dictated exclusively by military considerations."[2]

Syria/Israel - Art 2. 2. "It is also recognized that no provision of this Agreement shall in any way prejudice the rights, claims and positions of either Party hereto in the ultimate peaceful settlement of the Palestine question, the provisions of this Agreement being dictated exclusively by military and not by political considerations."[3]

Jordan/Israel - Art 2. "2. It is also recognized that no provision of this Agreement shall in any way prejudice the rights, claims and positions of either Party hereto in the ultimate peaceful settlement of the Palestine question, the provisions of this Agreement being dictated exclusively by military considerations.[4]

Territory under military control is occupied according to the Laws and Customs of War on Land (Hague IV); October 18, 1907 Art. 42 SECTION III "Territory is considered occupied when it is actually placed under the authority of the hostile army. "[5]

Israel was separated from Palestine by becoming an Independent Sovereignty May 15th 1948. What remained of Palestine is still called Palestine. The area that became Israel was renamed. It is not in Palestine, a fact confirmed by the Israeli Govt May 22nd 1948 (UNSC S/766)

I suggest a map be found which accurately depicts the actual legal status of the territories ... talknic (talk) 05:48, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Gaza strip

Since the status of the Gaza Strip is disputed, shouldn't it be hatched,
