General Armistice Agreements, 1949
GENERAL ARMISTICE AGREEMENTS, 1949
By January 1949 all Arab belligerents in the 1948–1949 War were ready to accept the United Nations Security Council's call for a general truce. The first to accept formally was Egypt, on 5 January. Negotiations began on 13 January in Rhodes, under the supervision of UN undersecretary Ralph Bunche. Egypt signed a General Armistice Agreement with Israel on 24 February 1949, followed on 23 March by Lebanon, on 3 April by Jordan, and on 20 July by Syria. Iraq, which has no common border with Israel, refused to negotiate. These agreements established the border between Israel and its neighbors, including the Green Line between Israel and the West Bank, which lasted until the June 1967 War
