Education Minister To Return Green Line To Textbooks
Education Minister Yuli Tamir decided that Israeli students should learn about the country's 1967 borders. Tamir ordered the Green Line be included on all maps in all future textbook publications.The Green Line outlines Israel's borders from the 4th of June, 1967, just before the Six day War broke out.
This decision is politically loaded since the 1967 borders are at the base of the Palestinian and Arab demands for establishing an independent Palestinian state.
In the meantime, Israel has been trying its best to obscure these lines over the years, in hopes that it would be able to include its settlements in the area in any future agreement with the Palestinians.
