  1. Green Line Jerusalem Shaye, Anna, Alexis A2

  2. Set in 1949 • Divided in half. East, West, and the city of Barta’a • Marks the line between Israel & the territories from the six day war

  3. During the war, Jews residing east of the Line, including the Jewish Quarter of the Old City, were taken prisoner by the Jordanians • The majority of Arabs on the Israeli side of the Line fled or were expelled during the war • The Umm al-Fahm-Baqa al-Gharbiyye-Tira area, known as "the Triangle", was originally designated to fall under Jordanian jurisdiction, but Israel demanded its inclusion on the Israeli side due to military and strategic considerations • In the Six-Day War, Israel occupied territories beyond the Green Line inhabited by over a million Palestinian Arabs, including refugees from the 1947–1949 war

  4. In 1967, East Jerusalem was annexed into Israel, with its Arab inhabitants given permanent residency status • United Nations Security Council Resolution 478, determined the law null and void. In 1981, the rule of law of the State of Israel was extended to the Golan Heights with the Golan Heights Law in what can be seen as an informal annexation. • he question of whether, or to what extent, Israel should withdraw its population and forces to its side of the Green Line remains a crucial issue in some discussions surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

  5. According to Hebrew University Geographer Ilan Salomon, the Green Line can be discerned via satellite, marked by the Jewish National Fund pine forests planted to demarcate Israeli space. • Smaller elements in the Palestinian leadership, such as Hamas, have called for a two state settlement based on the pre-June 1967 borders (the Green Line) • The near-unanimous international consensus has been displayed in the yearly UN General Assembly vote on the Peaceful Settlement of the Question of Palestine. • Although disputed by Israel, UN resolution 242 has made clear the interpretation of international law regarding Palestinian Territory.

  6. The Palestinians were not party to the drawing of the Green Line and rejected UN resolution 242 on the basis that it did not specifically call for an independent Palestinian state, but rather spoke of them as refugees. • Since 1976, most elements in the PLO have accepted the pre-June 1967 borders as a basis for the establishment of a Palestinian state.
