How did the size of israel change graphically (e.g. provide map) and
quantitatively (square kilometers) between (a) before the 6-Day War of
1967, (b) what it would be based on the last peace agreements with the
Palestinian Authority that resulted in a geographical boundary for the
Palestine Authority (e.g. West Bank + Gaza Strip)?

Request for Question Clarification by surajambar-ga on 16 Jul 2003 16:16 PDT

I would like to research and answer this question, but I am unsure
exactly which agreements you are referring to when you say "the last
peace agreements with the Palestinian Authority."  The last agreements
that could honestly said to have "resulted in a geographical boundary"
(at this point a boundary still means merely a starting point for
negotiation), were those at Oslo in 1993 when the then PLO agreed to
accept the 1967 borders, giving up formal claims on 78% of Mandate
Palestine.  Many plans of course have been presented since then, most
notably at Sharm al-Sheikh and at Taba.  Would you like the answer to
be based on these, on Oslo, on current proposals, or on all of these?

I look forward to your clarification,
surajambar-ga

Thanks for agreeing to answer this question.  I think the best
clarification is "based on current plans."  However, if you can
conveniently compare Oslo with pre-1967 as well, that would be helpful
to my research.  Thank you.
