summary

The 1949 Armistice Agreements were individually negotiated and signed between the State of Israel and neighboring Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan and Syria. The agreements ended the official hostilities of the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. The United Nations subsequently established supervising and reporting agencies to monitor the established armistice lines. Despite tensions and occasional violent outbursts, these lines held until the 1967 Six-Day War. A full set of these rare documents are most scarce
