Israel/Palestine in 1949: Map
Description
This map shows the Rhodes Armistice Line, which delineated Israel from Transjordan after the 1948-1949 War. The armistice line provided Israel with the area that is shaded blue; the West Bank and Gaza were given to Jordan and Egypt, respectively, which were subsequently captured during the 1967 Six-Day War and occupied by the Israeli military to the present day.
