evidence: The area originally separating Israel from Jordan is typically described as the "1967 or pre-1967 border." The frontier was never recognized as the border of Israel, however, and is actually the armistice line agreed to by Jordan and Israel in 1949. It is often referred to as the "Green Line" because that is the color of the pen used to draw the ceasefire line between Israel, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan following the 1967 War. Today, it is used to demarcate Israel from the disputed territories of East Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria (the West Bank). [...] Israel remains committed to trading land for peace, and never annexed the West Bank or Gaza Strip because it expected to return part of these territories in negotiations. When the Palestinians finally declared that they would recognize Israel and renounce terrorism, Israel agreed to begin to withdraw. Plans to withdraw from additional territory were scuttled by Palestinian terrorism and their violation of the Oslo agreements.
