 The West Bank and the Gaza Strip became distinct geographical units as a result of the 1949 armistice that divided the new Jewish state of Israel from other parts of Mandate Palestine. From 1948 to 1967, the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, was ruled by Jordan. During this period, the Gaza Strip was under Egyptian military administration. In the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, Israel took control of the western part of Jerusalem, while Jordan took the eastern part, including the old walled city containing important Jewish, Muslim and Christian religious sites. http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/static/in_depth/world/2001/israel_and_palestinians/key_maps/5.stm President Bush: "Any final status agreement must be reached between the two parties, and changes to the 1949 Armistice lines must be mutually agreed to. A viable two-state solution must ensure contiguity of the West Bank, and a state of scattered territories will not work. There must also be meaningful linkages between the West Bank and Gaza. This is the position of the United States today, it will be the position of the United States at the time of final status negotiations." http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2005/05/20050526.html | Arutz Article on Bush/Abbas White House Meeting | | Replacement Theology | Map of Israel | Dividing Israel's Covenant Land | The Forsaking of Gaza, Rapture & Day of the Lord | Russia, Iran About to Fulfill Ezekiel 38,39 | Bush Warns Sharon on Settlement Growth - Jeremiah | President Bush's Meeting With Abbas, May 26, 2005 | Battle of Gog/MaGog Videos w/maps | | Return Home | Tithing and Giving | Prayer and Fasting | Bible Study and Bible Study Helps | Mystery Babylon | Antichrist Revealed | The New World Order | Israel in Bible Prophecy | Home Schooling | BLOG | Email | |
