(COMMENT)P F Tinmore, et al,
Prior to the International Conventions for Map Sheet Names, it was not uncommon for Map Publishers to Sheet Name Maps. Over the last Century, the codification of Map Names and Reference Numbers have been standardized.
Don't confuse the Map Name "Palestine" with the very different application of "Palestinian Territory." The name of the Map Sheet is not bound by the limit of the map. It is more the name of the territory in the center of the map sheet.
Well before the turn of the century --- it became customary to use Regional Name "Palestine" in the decisions at the Paris Peace Conference in 1919 that the mandates system, outlined in article 22 of the covenant of the League of Nations should be applied to the non-Turkish portions of the Ottoman Empire.
The Mandate for Palestine was assigned to the United Kingdom by the Supreme Council of the Allied Powers at San Remo on the 25th April, 1920.
Supporting that decision --- the designation of the territory by name was defined in the 1922 Palestine Order In Council:
Your criterion is irrelevant.When did it become Palestinian territory if they never took it up ? It was not until 1988 that the arab muslims declared a provisional Palestine nation.
WHAT PALESTINIAN TERRITORY WAS OCCUPIED IN 1949 BY Israel IF PALESTINE NEVER TOOK UP SOVEREIGNTY OF ANY LAND
So, to answer your question: The territory identified by the Order in Council.
The territorial identification and cartography designations has nothing at all to do with the effective control by the Forward Edge of the Battle Area on which much of the Armistice Arrangement were based upon.
Most Respectfully.

So what does all that have to do with my post?
