RE: Who Are The Palestinians? Part 2
⁜→ P F Tinmore, et al,
Palestine, in any context, was NOT a word to be found in the entire Treaty of Lausanne.
(COMMENT)Palestine's international borders were defined by international treaties.
ARTICLE 3.
From the Mediterranean to the frontier of Persia, the frontier of Turkey is laid down as follows:
(I ) With Syria:
The frontier described in Article 8 of the Franco-Turkish Agreement of the 20th October, 1921(2) With Iraq:
The frontier between Turkey and Iraq shall be laid down in friendly arrangement to be concluded between Turkey and Great Britain within nine months.
In the event of no agreement being reached between the two Governments within the time mentioned, the dispute shall be referred to the Council of the League of Nations.
The Turkish and British Governments reciprocally undertake that, pending the decision to be reached on the subject of the frontier, no military or other movement shall take place which might modify in any way the present state of the territories of which the final fate will depend upon that decision.
I want you to take note that in the opening sentence in Article 3, the landscape covered by the words of description → "From the Mediterranean to the frontier of Persia" - completely includes the modern-day mantra → "From the River to the Sea."
I would very much appreciate your knowledge of some treaty identifying Palestine's borders. Who signed as the authority (competent authority of a State designating a person or persons to represent the State for negotiating, adopting or authenticating the text of a treaty) on behalf of Palestine?
Without prejudice to the issue of the status of the Gaza Strip, the Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty (26 March 1979) covers that Area. And without prejudice to the status of any territories that came under Israeli military government control in 1967, the international boundary between Jordan and Israel is set forth in the Jordan-Israeli Peace Treaty (1994). But neither Treaty actually makes reference to the "Palestine Entity."
without prejudice, adv. (I5c) Without loss of any rights;
in a way that does not harm or cancel the legal rights or
privileges of a party <dismissed without prejudice>.
As far as all this discussion of what territory is called what, the fact of the matter is that - YES - the treaties on the matter of permanent international boundaries that are current today, are all that really counts.
Most Respectfully,

All of the proposed new states (Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, and Palestine) had their territory defined before they became states. Therefor none of them were involves in any of those treaties. To say that Palestine's international borders are invalid because they did not sign any of the treaties is disingenuous because none of the new states signed any treaties. None of them were states yet.I would very much appreciate your knowledge of some treaty identifying Palestine's borders. Who signed as the authority (competent authority of a State designating a person or persons to represent the State for negotiating, adopting or authenticating the text of a treaty) on behalf of Palestine?
Here again, you're trying to confuse the people.
