Also known as "1967 border." Refers to the 1949 Armistice Line following the
1948 War, a line that demarcated boundaries between Jordan,
Israel, Lebanon, Syria and Egypt. Since the
1967 War, the Green Line has denoted, according to most international opinion and United Nations resolutions, the boundary between territory recognized as part of the legitimate, sovereign State of Israel and the Occupied
Palestinian Territories. For a map that marks the Green Line, see
B'Tselem's June 2011 map. For different
Israeli and Palestinian perspectives on the Green Line in modern-day political dealings, see "
