The border between Israel and Jordan is the MANDATE BORDER, NOT the 1949 Armistice Demarcation Line. The Israel-Jordan agreement specifically states that no status is claimed for the territories "under Israeli military government control". Therefore, the Israel-Jordan agreement can't be used as an argument for the status of those territories and borders.In 1994 The Jordan-Israel agreement acknowledged the very same border.
TREATY OF PEACE BETWEEN THE STATE OF ISRAEL AND THE HASHEMITE KINGDOM OF JORDAN.
Article 3:
1. The international boundary between Israel and Jordan is delimited with reference to the boundary definition under the Mandate as is shown in Annex I (a), on the mapping materials attached thereto and coordinates specified therein. 2. The boundary, as set out in Annex I (a), is the permanent, secure and recognised international boundary between Israel and Jordan, without prejudice to the status of any territories that came under Israeli military government control in 1967.
Annex I(a)
7. The orthophoto maps and image maps showing the line separating Jordan from the territory that came under Israeli Military government control in 1967 shall have that line indicated in a different presentation and the legend shall carry on it the following disclaimer: "This line is the administrative boundary between Jordan and the territory which came under Israeli Military government control in 1967. Any treatment of this line shall be without prejudice to the status of that territory."

Yep. Same goes for the Israel-Egypt agreement. The border is the MANDATE BORDER, not the 1949 Armistice Demarcation Line.Same goes for the Egypt-Israel agreement.
TREATY OF PEACE BETWEEN THE ARAB REPUBLIC OF EGYPT AND THE STATE OF ISRAEL
Article 2
The permanent boundary between Egypt and Israel is the recognized international boundary between Egypt and the former mandated territory of Palestine, as shown on the map at Annex II, 1 without prejudice to the issue of the status of the Gaza Strip. The Parties recognize this boundary as inviolable. Each will respect the territorial integrity of the other, including their territorial waters and airspace.
(emphasis mine)
There are no borders between Israel and a future State of Palestine. The 1949 ADL was specifically excluded from becoming a border. The borders must be negotiated as part of a settlement and peace treaty. The idea that the borders have already been established through some sort of magical "but everybody says so" and "but there are maps" is a significant obstacle to the peace process.The respective borders between Israel and The Palestinian West-bank and Gaza - are therefore unchanged.
And every single illegal Jewish settlement in Gaza till 2005 and in the West-bank till today is also recorded by the UN, incl. the illegal encroachment by Israel towards Jerusalem, violating the former Green Line.
There is absolutely NOTHING to discuss about - aside from the Zionists haggling for additional territory - that is in violation of the Green Line, and the UN recognized status of Jerusalem.
