Israel has internationally recognized de facto borders.RE: The Official Discussion Thread for the creation of Israel, the UN and the British Mandate
⁜→ P F Tinmore, et al,
There has not been a time that the Israelis, from the time of the Declaration of Independence, has not had defined borders.
(COMMENT)Well, Israel has never had a defined territory. That is a key component of a legitimate state.
It is apparent to me that you do not know what "define borders" means.
Defined borders are those borders defended by sovereign power. That is something the Israels have had since 1948, and something in which the Arab Palestinians have not had since they declared independence in 1988. To this day, the Arab Palestinians do not have any borders that they defend or that express their sovereignty.
Most Respectfully,
