from Part VI - Jewish Statehood on the Ground
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 December 2021
The reliance by the Provisional Government of Israel on the General Assembly’s resolution on partition was challenged on the grounds that the Provisional Government of Israel did not confine itself to the borders proposed in that that resolution. The Security Council asked the Provisional Government what borders it claimed. The Provisional Government of Israel said that it claimed the territory contemplated for a Jewish state by the General Assembly’s resolution, and that it was holding territory beyond those lines as belligerent occupant only. Through 1948, the Provisional Government of Israel gained more territory beyond the borders of the General Assembly’s resolution. The Security Council called on all parties not to gain additional territory in Palestine. In 1949, armistice agreements were concluded, leaving Israel in control of territory beyond the borders of the General Assembly resolution. The Government of Israel then claimed sovereignty over these territories. That included territory within the city of Jerusalem.
