Green Line (Israel) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The term Green Line is often used to refer to the 1949 Armistice lines established between Israel and its opponents (Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Egypt) at the end of the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. As of December 2005, the Line formally divides the areas of operation of the Israeli Magen David Adom and the Palestinian Red Crescent, although the former is still responsible for care in Israeli settlements. The majority of the line corresponds to the military front of the 1948 War, and while the considerations dictating its placement were primarily military, it soon became clear that in many places it divided towns and villages and separated farmers from their fields. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Green_Line_(Israel)   (1270 words)

[No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) Green Line and Seam Line are often used interchangeably for the border between Israel and the West Bank, but there are subtle differences between the two. The Green Line refers to the boundary between Israel and the West Bank as demarcated by the 1949 Armistice agreement. Israel does not officially recognize the Green Line, as it does not officially recognize a border between Israel and the West Bank. www.ynetnews.com /articles/0,7340,L-3020745,00.html   (155 words)

Israel Security Fence The "green line" from 1949 bounding the West Bank is solely a defunct military line demarcating the extent of the Transjordanian invasion of Israel in 1948. Israel took control of the West Bank in June 1967 as a result of the Six-Day War, which had been prompted by Egypt's expulsion of UN peacekeepers, mobilization of troops for an invasion of Israel, blockade of Israeli ports, and threats to destroy Israel by force of arms.

Demarcating an Israeli-Palestinian Border: Geographic Considerations by David Newman The green line is only marked on historical maps that illustrate the situation which existed between 1949 and 1967. Israel, on the other hand, is saying that the green line serves as the starting point for talks, and intends to work from the green line inward. Israel has certain interests involving security, water, and, most importantly, Israeli settlements, which means it must move the boundary in order to incorporate certain territory on the other side. www.jcpa.org /jl/hit10.htm   (3902 words)

bitterlemons.org - The green line That the green line has survived the ensuing 35 years, and has become virtually synonymous with 242 in the eyes of the international community, is testimony to Arab and particularly Palestinian persistence. The green line, after all, is not an international border--unlike Israel's borders with Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon--and the Palestine Liberation Organization only arrived at the advocacy of a two state solution based on 242 in the late 1980s. Israel also refuses to acknowledge the principles of UN Resolution 194, which establishes the right of return or compensation for Palestinian refugees (and is notably one of the resolutions that Israel was required to accept before joining the United Nations). www.bitterlemons.org /previous/bl240203ed8.html   (3092 words)

פורום אומץ לסרב: Boycotts! A fenciful future for Israel? Israel's efforts to build the fence in the West Bank triggered off a sharp international reaction, with opponents claiming that it deviates from the 1967 lines, which were presented as Israel's border. The prominent Israeli spokesman against the Green Line was MK Gideon Sa'ar, former cabinet secretary and current chairman of the Likud faction and the coalition, who warned of the existential danger to Israel in withdrawing to the old lines. Israel demanded clarification of the American position, and State Department legalists advised Powell that the Green Line is not the recognized border. www.seruv.org.il /english/discussion/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=625&PN=1   (6931 words)

Israel Police to deny basic rights inside Green Line? When Israel Television Channel 10 broadcast a recording of Israel Police Lieutenant-Commander Nisso Shaham's shocking instructions to use violence against disengagement opponents it was hoped that a healthy reaction of embarrassment would cause the police brass bend over backwards to avoid the appearance of abusing police power against protesters. The Israel Police certainly want to stop protesters from reaching the Gaza Strip - but that cannot justify denying Israeli citizens the basic freedom to protest within the Israel's the Green Line. The Israel Police are anything but helpless with regards to the challenge of handling protestors who enter the Gaza Strip. www.michnews.com /cgi-bin/artman/exec/view.cgi/182/8906/printer   (252 words)

Crosswalk.com Israel was in the process of issuing $1.6 billion worth of bonds based on those guarantees this week. The U.S. has urged Israel to put the fence on its own side of the green line, saying otherwise it could be interpreted as a political device pre-judging the size of a future Palestinian state. Forcing Israel to build the fence along the green line would be a political statement, he said, because the future of the West Bank was supposed to be determined as a result of negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians. www.crosswalk.com /news/1220523.html?view=print   (795 words)

History of Palestine and Green Line Israel It is worthy of note that Israel was established as a state for the "Jewish People," and not as the state of its citizens. In January 1949 Israel conducted elections for its parliament, the Knesset ("assembly" in Hebrew), and its government was formed. Israel's policy of building colonial settlements on the West Bank and in Gaza has meant shameless confiscation of Palestinian lands, annexation of Jerusalem, the annexation of the Golan Heights, and the settling of over 100,000 Jews within annexed Jerusalem. www.brianwillson.com /palest_hist.html   (3239 words)

Israeli Planned West Bank Fence, May 2002 The green line is the border of Israel as was established by the 1949 armistice agreements, before Israel conquered the West Bank and Gaza in the 6 day war in 1967. The green line is crossed by numerous dirt roads and it is impossible to patrol it.

First Line   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) The term also refers to the line of demarcation that divides the Cypriot capital of Nicosia into the southern Greek Cypriot region and the northern Turkish Cypriot region that was created following the 1974 invasion by Turkey (which refers to the invasion as the 1974 Peace Operation) that created the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.

Israel draws a red line on the Green Line. Late last month in Israel came a grim reminder of why its antiterrorism fence is so important: Sixteen Israelis were killed and over 100 wounded in twin suicide bombings in the city of Beersheba. Arafat accused Israel of orchestrating the attacks to provoke anger against the court's decision. In a second war of survival in 1967, Israel won some of the territory beyond the "Green Line" — from which Jordan had launched its attack against Israel. www.papillonsartpalace.com /isrrael.htm   (721 words)

The 1967 Six-Day War Israel consistently expressed a desire to negotiate with its neighbors. The danger of Israel lies in the very existence of Israel as it is in the present and in what she represents. Israel repeatedly protested the Syrian bombardments to the UN Mixed Armistice Commission, which was charged with policing the cease-fire, but the UN did nothing to stop Syria’s aggression — even a mild Security Council resolution expressing “regret” for such incidents was vetoed by the Soviet Union. www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org /jsource/History/67_War.html   (3008 words)

The Agonist: Cracking the Green Line An example of the first is Israel's "Green Line" that held in Southern Lebanon for many years, and an example of the second is the area of Baghdad that the CPA admits to controlling. It is, therefore, an obsession of guerillas to "crack the green line". The need to defend the green line in Baghdad and in the south of Iraq is forcing US military resources into an increasingly rigid, and vulnerable, posture. www.agonist.org /archives/015569.html   (663 words)

Israel's Borders After 1948 War The border with Egypt was restored to its previous line, with the exception of the Gaza Strip where Egypt continued in control. In no sense are the cease-fire lines to be interpreted as political or territorial borders and their delineation in no way affects the rights, demands or positions of any of the parties to the cease-fire agreements regarding the final disposition of the Palestine question. The fundamental objective of the cease-fire lines is to serve as a line beyond which the armed forces of each of the parties will deploy. www.palestinefacts.org /pf_1948to1967_land_1948.php   (532 words)

Glossary The boycott consists of the primary boycott, which prohibits direct trade between Israel and the Arab nations, the secondary boycott, which is directed at companies that do business with Israel and the tertiary boycott, which involves the fllisting of firms that trade with other companies that do business with Israel. The Land of Israel had become a predominantly Christian country, and Jews were deprived of most of the little autonomy they still had. The plan offered recognition of Israel in exchange for unilateral withdrawal from all "occupied lands", the establishment of a Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital and the recognition of the PLO as the representative of the Palestinian people. www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org /jsource/gloss.html   (12660 words)

Israel Line U.S. Deputy UN Ambassador James Cunningham warned that the resolution was unbalanced and could further undermine the goal of a Middle East in which Israeli and Palestinian states live side by side in peace.

Spectator.org JERUSALEM -- The United Nations and European Union are threatening to sanction Israel for constructing a security fence on the "green line" that runs along the Palestinian-controlled West Bank even as the Palestinians engage in terrorist acts that necessitate it. A terrorist from the Aksa Martyrs Brigade left Jenin in Northern Israel with the intention of entering Jerusalem to conduct a suicide bombing. But now that the socialists of old are gone and more conservative Jews are running Israel (more and more religious Jews are entering the upper ranks of the military), liberals at the U.N. are happy to champion the illiberal side. www.spectator.org /util/print.asp?art_id=6972   (646 words)

AM - Green Line fence creates tension One of Israel's answers to the intifada has been to start construction of a giant fence along the Green Line, the border between the West Bank and Israel. In the north of Israel, one local Jewish community is rallying behind its Palestinian neighbour, accusing the Sharon Government of attempting to destroy 50 years of good relations.
