Well, this is not entirely wrong from a practical standpoint.
On Mid-night 14/15 May 1948, the Mandate was terminated and Israel, minutes later, declared independence. Pursuant to the agreement with the UN Palestine Commission, which was the "successor government" to the Mandatory (UK), the borders for Israel were established IAW the General Assembly Resolution 181(II), and the Map in Annex "A".
On Israel proclaimed its independence on the strength of the General Assembly resolution; armed conflict then broke out between Israel and a number of Arab States.
A set of general armistice agreements were concluded in 1949 between Israel and the neighbouring States through mediation by the United Nations. In particular, one such agreement was signed in Rhodes on 3 April 1949 between Israel and Jordan, "without prejudice to future territorial settlements or boundary lines or to claims of either Party relating thereto”.
In the 1967 War, Israeli forces occupied all the territories which had constituted Palestine under British Mandate (including those known as the West Bank, lying to the east of the Green Line). This line became what is known today as the 1967 Borders.
Most Respectfully,

(COMMENT)Didn't Israel declare independence without declaring borders?
Wow, what an amazing statement, you really hit hard with that one...just...so...powerful...
What was the point of it, imbecile?
