Green Line
Refers to the 1949 Armistice Line following the War of 1948, a line that demarcated unofficial boundaries between Jordan, Israel, Lebanon, Syria and Egypt. Since the War of 1967, 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 at http://www.btselem.org/download/20110612_btselem_map_of_wb_eng.pdf. For different Israeli and Palestinian perspectives on the use of the Green Line in modern-day political dealings, see “The green line.” 24 February 2003.
