Who Are The Palestinians? Part 2
⁜→ P F Tinmore, toastman, et al,
BLUF: You make some of the damnedest claims.
There has never been a treaty changing Palestine's international borders.
(REQUEST)
Take a MAP of the Region and in marker, outline the International Border of "Palestine" you say is delineated by Treaty.
Date the period.
Identify the Treaty or Treaties as I do.
THEN scan it.

The eastern border of Palestine with Trans-Jordan was of particular significance.
8 The Palestine Mandate originally incorporated the territory of Trans-Jordan within the scope of ‘Palestine.’ Article 25 of the Mandate accorded Britain the power, “with consent of the Council of the League of Nations, to postpone or withhold application of such provisions of this mandate as… may consider inapplicable to the existing local conditions.” Subsequently, on 16 September 1922, the Council of the League of Nations passed a resolution by which it approved a proposal submitted by Britain to exclude Trans-Jordan from the scope of Palestine’s territory.

With regard to the northern border of Palestine, Britain and France (the occupying powers at the time, and later the mandatory powers over Syria and Lebanon respectively) signed an agreement which settled key aspects relating to the Palestinian-Syrian-Lebanese border (Paris, 23 December 1920).
20 The British High Commissioner of Palestine and the French High Commissioner of Syria and Lebanon reached, at Jerusalem on 16 December 1923, a complementary agreement on border issues.
21 On 2 February 1926, the agreement was replaced by the
Bon Voisinage Agreement to Regulate Certain Administrative Matters in Connection with the Frontier between Palestine and Syria [including Lebanon].

The southwestern border of Palestine with Egypt dates back to the late 19th century. Originally, this border was drawn up on a
de facto basis, as the Ottoman Empire recognized Egypt’s autonomy.
27 Formally, however, two border agreements between the Ottoman Empire and Egypt were reached in 1906. The first came in the form of an
Exchange of Notes between Britain [which was controlling Egypt since 1882] and Turkey relative to the Maintenance of the Status Quo in the Sinai Peninsula, signed in Constantinople on 14 May.
28 The second and more detailed border agreement, was the
Agreement between Egypt and Turkey for the fixing of an Administrative Line between the Vilayet [province] of Hejaz and the Governorate [district] of Jerusalem and the Sinai Peninsula, signed in Rafah, on 1 October.
29 The separation of Egypt from Turkey (Palestine, in this instance), as of 5 November 1914, was ultimately recognized by the 1923 Treaty of Lausanne.
