The 1967 Armistice lines never included the West Bank or Gaza. Fact check before post.

Could someone please explain to me what the difference between the “1967 borders” and the “1967 lines” are, or provide a link in map form? It is Israel’s position that the borders/lines/whatever you want to call them dividing the State of Israel from the territories controlled by Syria, Jordan and Israel on June 4, 1967 would be very difficult to defend against an aggressive attack. Also, Jews had no access to the old city of Jerusalem under these borders/lines/whatever.

To return to these lines is a non-starter for Israel.
