Abstract
With the outcome of the 1948 war between the Arab states and Israel, what had once been a unified area under the British Mandate was divided by a new border. The actual location of this border, which was modified slightly by the 1949 Israel-Jordan Armistice Agreement,1 became a crucial factor in the lives of those who lived along it in that part of Palestine annexed by Jordan—known as the West Bank of the enlarged Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.
