1949 Armistice Agreements
Wikidata classes on our event-class list: armistice, treaty, ceasefire (all its classes: Wikidata item)
The 1949 Armistice Agreements were signed between Israel and Egypt, Lebanon, Transjordan, and Syria. They formally ended the hostilities of the 1948 Palestine War and also demarcated the Green Line, which separated Arab-controlled territory (i.e., the Jordanian-annexed West Bank and the Egyptian-occupied Gaza Strip) from Israel until the latter's victory in the 1967 Six-Day War.
To monitor the agreed-upon de facto border, the United Nations (UN) established supervising and reporting agencies; discussions related to the ceasefire's enforcement led to the signing of the separate Tripartite Declaration of 1950, in which the United States, the United Kingdom, and France pledged to take action within and outside of the UN in order to prevent violations of the frontiers. It also outlined their commitment to peace and stability in the area, their opposition to the use or threat of force, and reiterated their opposition to the development of an arms race between Arab countries and Israel.

Approximate location: no coordinates were found for this event, so its marker is placed at the one reference point used for every such event of Israel/Palestine (Jerusalem), whatever its date. The marker shows the country, not where the event happened, and says nothing about the status of that city.
Hand-picked event: it is on this project’s own list of events, and its dates and countries were typed by hand for that list, so they can differ from Wikidata’s.
