1. The Armistice Demarcation Line shall follow the international boundary between the Lebanon and Palestine.RE: Settlements only "illegal" for Jews
⁜→ P F Tinmore, et al,
Every State likewise has the duty to refrain from the threat or use of force to violate international lines of demarcation, such as armistice lines, established by or pursuant to an international agreement to which it is a party or which it is otherwise bound to respect. Nothing in the foregoing shall be construed as prejudicing the positions of the parties concerned with regard to the status and effects of such lines under their special regimes or as affecting their temporary character.
The "Green Line" = "Armistice Line" = "Demarcation Line" (From the specific - to the category - to the generalization.)
All Armistice Lines are a form of Demarcation. Not all Demarcations are Armistice Lines.
(COMMENT)Not true.The "Green Line" is an agreed-upon demarcation between Israel and Jordan/Egypt.
The "Green Line" was a line that military forces could not cross.
It was specifically not to be a political or territorial boundary.
The West Bank refers to the territory situated west of the Jordan River that was not included as part of Israel following the establishment of the state after the Arab–Israel War of 1948. The West Bank's total area is 2,270 square miles (5,880 sq. km), smaller than the area that was originally allocated to a future Arab state by the United Nations partition resolution of November 1947. It is demarcated by the Green Line (the armistice line set by the 1949 Jordanian-Israeli talks at Rhodes) in the west and the Jordan River in the east.

A demarcation is a line, boundary, or other conceptual separation between things.
Geographically, a demarcation might be the border that separates
two countries or the river that divides two regions.

2. The Armistice Demarcation Line is not to be construed in any sense as a political or territorial boundary,
Note that there are no borders for Israel mentioned anywhere in these agreements
Palestine is mentioned many times but a place called Israel is not mentioned at all.
Also note that these agreements took place after the end of the Mandate, after resolution 181, and after the end of the 1948 war.
