1949 Green Line (Lebanon)
The Green Line, established in 1949, which is the armistice line of the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. The 1949 line is in turn the same as the 1923 Mandate Line which was the border between France and Britain's territory (see: Treaty of Sèvres).
The name is derived from the green pencil used to draw the line on the map during the talks. [1]
