Keywords: 1947-UN-Partition-Plan-1949-Armistice-Comparison.svg Resolution 181 for the British Mandate Territory of Palestine and the eventual armistice boundaries of 1949-1950 The meaning of the map colors is as follows a legend caption is available in template form here Blue area assigned to a Jewish state in the original UN partition plan and within the 1949 Israel armistice lines Green area assigned to an Arab state in the original UN partition plan and controlled by Egypt or Jordan from 1949-1967 Light red area assigned to an Arab state in the original UN partition plan but within the 1949 Israel armistice lines Magenta area assigned to the Corpus Separatum of Jerusalem/Bethlehem neither Jewish nor Arab by the plan but controlled by Jordan from 1949-1967 Greyish area assigned to the Corpus Separatum of Jerusalem/Bethlehem neither Jewish nor Arab by the plan but within the 1949 Israel armistice lines Some limitations of the map The small demilitarized zones are not shown Arabs interpreted these areas as neutral intermediate buffers like the Neutral Zones between Iraq and Saudi Arabia or between Kuwait and Saudi Arabia while Israel interpreted them as full sovereign Israeli national territory under a demilitarization treaty obligation The conflict between these two interpretations produced frictions which effectively eliminated the special status of most of the zones within a few years A small area at the northeastern corner of the green area on the map -- which would have belonged to the Jewish state according to the original UN partition plan but which was controlled by Jordan from 1949-1967 -- is not distinguished on the map The Latrun Salient no-man's-land is not shown separately and the line between green and light red in that area is somewhat fudged The boundary complications in the Jerusalem area the Jerusalem no-man's-land Mount Scopus theoretical enclave etc are too small to show up on a map of this level of detail The map cannot show that the pre-1948 boundaries of the British Palestine Mandate included a ten-meter-wide strip along the northeastern shore of the Sea of Galilee making it a fully-enclosed British mandate lake a strip which was overrun by Syria in the fighting of 1948-1949 This is a partial SVG conversion omitting text of the original PostScript vector source of raster Image 1947-UN-Partition-Plan-1949-Armistice-Comparison png by User AnonMoos Apparently http //unispal un org/UNISPAL NSF/0/651C804E6815FB28852575DF004B7C4C ANNEX II is the ultimate UN source AnonMoos 2007-07-13 Palaestina 1947 svg <gallery> Image 1947-UN-Partition-Plan-1949-Armistice-Comparison-es svg Image 1947-UN-Partition-Plan-1949-Armistice-Comparison png </gallery> AnonMoos Maps of the 1948 Arab Israeli War SVG maps of the Arab-Israeli conflict Maps of the United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine Blank maps of Asia Generated by PostScript Maps of the 1949 Armistice Agreements |
