evidence: The "Green Line" is the name given to the border between Israel and the West Bank. In 1949, the Green Line was considered the de facto border of the State of Israel and was named for the green ink that was used to draw the physical boundary line. [...] The Green Line is still relevant. Israeli law does not apply to the West Bank in the same way it does to the rest of Israel. And it doesn’t seem likely to change anytime soon. The few times someone has tried to change the boundaries of the Green Line by annexing parts of settler communities into Israel, it has resulted in major international outcries.
