That history doesn't prevent Reuters from continually misstating it:
The misnomer of 1967 borders is more than simply semantic. In discussions of how the remaining unallocated portions of the Palestine Mandate might be divided between Israel and the Arabs in a settlement of the conflict, it's critical to note that Israel has no recognized border with the Arab world to the East. Absent some portion of Judea and Samaria being integrated into Israel, the country would remain 9 miles wide and vulnerable to future attack.In an unusually sharp rebuke to Israel's closest ally, Netanyahu insisted Israel would never pull back to its 1967 borders -- which would mean big concessions of occupied land -- that Obama had said should be the basis for negotiations on creating a Palestinian state.
