1967 borders

The 1967 borders refer to the boundaries of Israel before the Six-Day War, when Israel captured the West Bank, Gaza Strip, East Jerusalem, the Golan Heights, and Sinai Peninsula. These borders are based on the armistice lines established after the 1948 Arab-Israeli war. Many in the international community consider these lines as the starting point for negotiations to establish a two-state solution, with Israel and a future Palestinian state living side by side peacefully. The borders are a central issue in ongoing Israeli-Palestinian talks, with disputes over which borders should be recognized as sovereign frontiers.
