The Issue of Borders

1. There have never been any pre-1967 borders – only the 1949 and 1950 borders. Those armistice lines had
been agreed between Jordan, Israel and Egypt – long before the PLO came into existence in 1964. The 1967 lines are simply ceasefire lines.

2. According to the 1993 Oslo Accords, the Palestinians controlled about 40% of the land on the West Bank. That area included 96% of the Palestinians living in the West Bank.

3. Aside from the Oslo Accords, Jews have legals claims to the areas of the West Bank in which they lived prior to 1949 as well as those areas defined as State lands and waste lands not required for public purposes, as stipulated by Article 6
of the Mandate for Palestine and Article 80 of the United Nations Charter.
