No! You need to read it again.
(COMMENT)Are you saying that Israel's occupation of Palestine was peaceful?No matter!
(COMMENT)The Government of Palestine was the Mandatory (British). At the time of the Armistice, two requirements prevailed:
(i) the territory subject to claim must not be under the sovereignty of nay state (terra nullius --- "nobody's land")
(ii) the state must have effectively occupied the territory.Didn't it also say that the occupation must be peaceful?
The Armistice shows that the West Bank and the Gaza Strip were occupied by the Arab League. The Arab Palestinians actually to not mount a belligerent opposition then. So it was peaceful. There were no areas under the sovereign control of the Israelis that were in conflict.

In the 1949 Armistice, Israel was NOT one of the occupying powers.
The Armistice shows that the West Bank and the Gaza Strip were occupied by the Arab League. The Arab Palestinians actually to not mount a belligerent opposition then. So it was peaceful.
• Jordan occupied the West Bank.
• Egypt occupied the Gaza Strip.
There was no area within Israeli sovereignty that was under an insurgency or civil war conditions. It was al on the Arab League side of the Armistice Line derived from the FEBA.

The Palestinians in Israeli controlled territory were remove from their homes and were herded into military controlled areas under armed guards. The Jews, of course, had the freedom to move freely in the territory.
Israel whined constantly about "insurgents" (Palestinians attempting to go back to their homes and armed groups attacking the occupation.) from 1948 to 1967. These attacks vary in intensity but continue to today.
And under many international laws Israel is allowed to evict such people from their lands. They are not wanted and are avowed enemies of the Israeli nation.
