Which is why I explicitly prefaced my statement with "in this case". Did you want to talk about a different instance? We can. Name it.Israel has manifold times restricted access to Muslims - not just since it receives counterstrikes from Iran.
No. The armistice line was (is) explicitly NOT a border. It did not change the territory of either of the Parties and was explicitly not permitted to create or change the territorial integrity of either Jordan nor Israel.There was a de facto border defined by the ceasefire agreement
Here's the relevant text:
2.The basic purpose of the Armistice Demarcation Lines is to delineate the lines beyond which the armed forces of the respective Parties shall not move.
9.The Armistice Demarcation Lines defined in articles V and VI of this Agreement are agreed upon by the Parties without prejudice to future territorial settlements or boundary lines or to claims of either Party relating thereto.
You agree with me, because you said:
It was the Arab States incl. Egypt that explicitly stated that the de facto borders of the 1949 armistice lines to be temporary cease-fire lines rather than political or international borders
If you want to argue that Jordan had territorial control up to the Armistice Line, then we agree. But the Armistice Line was never, is not, and can not be a border (unless made so by some future treaty that does not exist as yet).
Yes. But NOW Jordan recognizes Israel within its original Mandate borders .and before October 26, 1994, Jordan hadn't even recognized Israel;
The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan NEVER had a legal territorial claim to land outside the borders of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan outlined in the Mandate agreements. Go ahead, try to prove me wrong. Produce a document which gives the entirety of the Mandate for Palestine to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. Then explain why that legal document takes precedence over the Mandate of Palestine.And the former Jordan territorial claim was abandoned and transferred from Jordan ...
You've been arguing for pages about non-discriminatory freedom of access. Now you are double-talking. Explain yourself.No - never did
