WP:RS accurately reflecting the actual wording of their cited documents, resolutions, statements etc., as required for articles in Wikipedia. RATIONALE: Does not include the corpus separatum: Between the termination of the Mandate May 14th 1948 and the Armistice Agreements of 1949 only Israeli statehood had been established and; corpus separatum for Jerusalem has never been instituted. Palestinian territory under the military control of Israel, Egypt and Jordan based on: the extent of Israeli sovereignty as it asked to be and was first recognized by the US - May 15th 1948 and; Before acceptance into the UN - 11 May 1949 and; Before Israel's 1 September 1949 claim to territories captured during the 1948 war and; Before the existing November 30, 1948 cease fire agreement drawn on the original map (the Green Line) and; from the respective Armistice Agreements made a year after Israel had been recognized "1. ...the Egyptian Military Forces in the AL FALUJA area shall be withdrawn. 2. ... beyond the Egypt-Palestine frontier."[1] and; "The Armistice Demarcation Line should follow the international boundary between Lebanon and Palestine." Lebanon

May 15 1948 the extent of Israel’s Sovereign territories were stated: as being those of UNGA Res 181 in the Israeli Government’s official plea for recognition to the President of the USA.

Letter From the Agent of the Provisional Government of Israel to the President of the United States. “MY DEAR MR. PRESIDENT: I have the honor to notify you that the state of Israel has been proclaimed as an independent republic within frontiers approved by the General Assembly of the United Nations in its Resolution of November 29, 1947, and that a provisional government has been charged to assume the rights and duties of government for preserving law and order within the boundaries of Israel, for defending the state against external aggression, and for discharging the obligations of Israel to the other nations of the world in accordance with international law. The Act of Independence will become effective at one minute after six o’clock on the evening of 14 May 1948, Washington time.”[2]. The US immediately recognized Israel as such.

The British also recognized Israel as such and considered non-declared territories under Israel’s military control by the time of British recognition, as occupied. "Hansard 27 April 1950 His Majesty’s Government have also decided to accord de jure recognition to the State of Israel, subject to explanations on two points corresponding to those described above in regard to the case of Jordan. These points are as follows. First, that His Majesty’s Government are unable to recognise the sovereignty of Israel over that part of Jerusalem which she occupies, though, pending a final determination of the status of the area, they recognise that Israel exercises de facto authority in it. Secondly, that His Majesty’s Government cannot regard the present boundaries between Israel, and Egypt, Jordan, Syria and the Lebanon as constituting the definitive frontiers of Israel, as these boundaries were laid down in the Armistice Agreements concluded severally between Israel and each of these States, and are subject to any modifications which may be agreed upon under the terms of those Agreements, or of any final settlements which may replace them."[3]. Thus far (July 2012), there has been no 'final settlements to replace them'.

May 22 1948 the extent of Israel’s territories were clearly stated again: in the Israeli Government’s Reply to the UNSC May 22 1948, Palestine is acknowledged as outside the territories of the State of Israel. The reply of the Provisional Government of Israel UNSC S/766 to the questions addressed to the Jewish authorities in Palestine.

"at present over the entire area of the Jewish State as defined in the Resolution of the General Assembly of the 29th November, 1947. In addition, the Provisional Government exercises control over the city of Jaffa; Northwestern Galilee, including Acre, Zib, Base, and the Jewish settlements up to the Lebanese frontier; a strip of territory alongside the road from Hilda to Jerusalem; almost all of new Jerusalem; and of the Jewish quarter within the walls of the Old City of Jerusalem. The above areas, outside the territory of the State of Israel, are under the control of the military authorities of the State of Israel, who are strictly adhering to international regulations in this regard. The Southern Negev is uninhabited desert over which no effective authority has ever existed.” - “the Government of the State of Israel operates in parts of Palestine outside the territory of the State of Israel” — “outside the area of the State” — “beyond the frontiers of the State of Israel” ... [4]

International Regulations "in this regard": Laws and Customs of War on Land (Hague IV); October 18, 1907 Art. 42 SECTION III "Territory is considered occupied when it is actually placed under the authority of the hostile army. The occupation extends only to the territory where such authority has been established and can be exercised."[5]

Aug 12 1948 Israeli Government Proclamation: "Jerusalem Declared Israel-Occupied City- by Israeli Government Proclamation 12 Aug 1948"[6]

June 15 1949 Israel’s position on its frontiers: statement to the Knesset by Foreign Minister Sharett. June 15, 1949 Israel-s position on its frontiers VOLUMES 1-2: 1947-1974 “As for the frontier between the State of Israel and the area west of the Jordan which is not included in Israel…”[7]

Aug 31 1949 Israel is already recognized & accepted as a UN Member State: Israel made it’s first official claim to territories beyond the extent of its already recognized sovereignty and not belonging to any State. [8] Israel’s claim was rebuffed, citing the 1949 Armistice Agreements [9].

The 1949 Armistice Agreements all: say "The provisions of this agreement being dictated exclusively by military considerations." and "in Palestine" Egypt/Israel ... Syria/Israel ... Jordan/Israel.
The territory designated for the Jewish State by UNGA res 181, (the resolution enshrined in the Declaration for the Establishment of the State of Israel) was renamed Israel.
The total territory of Palestine designated for the Arab State has never been officially renamed, it is still called Palestine, as it was under the League of Nations Covenant of 1920 and the League of Nations Mandate for Palestine "for" being the operative word.
