evidence: Fact Sheets: The "Pre-1967 Border" - The "Green Line" 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).
