Key ideas in The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
- The Green Line marks where armies halted after the 1948 war, not an agreed border.
- UN Resolution 242 established the principle of trading land taken in 1967 for peace.
- Land swaps in negotiations use the Green Line as the baseline to balance territory.
- Oslo II gave the Palestinian Authority sole civilian and police power in Area A.
- Area B splits duties between Palestinian civil offices and Israeli army patrols.
- Area C covers over 60 percent of the West Bank under exclusive Israeli control.
- Israel enacted the 1980 Jerusalem Law declaring the whole city its capital.
- Annexation granted most Palestinian residents revocable permanent residency, not citizenship.
- Permanent residency denies national voting rights and can be rescinded for living abroad.
- Bypass roads link Israeli settlements while restricting direct local Palestinian transit.
- The West Bank barrier loops east of the Green Line, encircling major settlement blocs.
- Fixed military checkpoints and flying roadblocks regulate passage between isolated cantons.
- Hamas took de facto control of Gaza while Fatah retained the West Bank authority.
