THE ARAB STATE The area of the Arab State in   Western Galilee is bounded on the west by the Mediterranean and on the north   by the frontier of the Lebanon from Ras en Naqura to a point north of Saliha.   From there the boundary proceeds southwards, leaving the built-up area of   Saliha in the Arab State, to join the southernmost point of this village.   There it follows the western boundary line of the villages of &#8216;Alma, Rihaniya   and Teitaba, thence following the northern boundary line of Meirun village to   join the Acre-Safad Sub-District boundary line. It follows this line to a   point west of Es Sammu&#8217;i village and joins it again at the northernmost point   of Farradiya. Thence it follows the sub-district boundary line to the   Acre-Safad main road. From here it follows the western boundary of Kafr-I&#8217;nan   village until it reaches the Tiberias-Acre Sub-District boundary line, passing   to the west of the junction of the Acre-Safad and Lubiya-Kafr-I&#8217;nan roads.   From the south-west corner of Kafr-I&#8217;nan village the boundary line follows the   western boundary of the Tiberias Sub-District to a point close to the boundary   line between the villages of Maghar and &#8216;Eilabun, thence bulging out to the   west to include as much of the eastern part of the plain of Battuf as is   necessary for the reservoir proposed by the Jewish Agency for the irrigation   of lands to the south and east.   <P>The boundary rejoins the Tiberias Sub-District boundary at a point on the   Nazareth-Tiberias road south-east of the built-up area of Tur&#8217;an; thence it   runs southwards, at first following the sub-district boundary and then passing   between the Kadoorie Agricultural School and Mount Tabor, to a point due south   at the base of Mount Tabor. From here it runs due west, parallel to the   horizontal grid line 230, to the north-east corner of the village lands of Tel   Adashim. It then runs to the northwest corner of these lands, whence it turns   south and west so as to include in the Arab State the sources of the Nazareth   water supply in Yafa village. On reaching Ginneiger it follows the eastern,   northern and western boundaries of the lands of this village to their   south-west comer, whence it proceeds in a straight line to a point on the   Haifa-Afula railway on the boundary between the villages of Sarid and   El-Mujeidil. This is the point of intersection. The south-western boundary of   the area of the Arab State in Galilee takes a line from this point, passing   northwards along the eastern boundaries of Sarid and Gevat to the   north-eastern corner of Nahalal, proceeding thence across the land of Kefar ha   Horesh to a central point on the southern boundary of the village of &#8216;Ilut,   thence westwards along that village boundary to the eastern boundary of Beit   Lahm, thence northwards and north-eastwards along its western boundary to the   north-eastern corner of Waldheim and thence north-westwards across the village   lands of Shafa &#8216;Amr to the southeastern corner of Ramat Yohanan. From here it   runs due north-north-east to a point on the Shafa &#8216;Amr-Haifa road, west of its   junction with the road of I&#8217;billin. From there it proceeds north-east to a   point on the southern boundary of I&#8217;billin situated to the west of the   I&#8217;billin-Birwa road. Thence along that boundary to its westernmost point,   whence it turns to the north, follows across the village land of Tamra to the   north-westernmost corner and along the western boundary of Julis until it   reaches the Acre-Safad road. It then runs westwards along the southern side of   the Safad-Acre road to the Galilee-Haifa District boundary, from which point   it follows that boundary to the sea.   <P>The boundary of the hill country of Samaria and Judea starts on the Jordan   River at the Wadi Malih south-east of Beisan and runs due west to meet the   Beisan-Jericho road and then follows the western side of that road in a   north-westerly direction to the junction of the boundaries of the   Sub-Districts of Beisan, Nablus, and Jenin. From that point it follows the   Nablus-Jenin sub-District boundary westwards for a distance of about three   kilometres and then turns north-westwards, passing to the east of the built-up   areas of the villages of Jalbun and Faqqu&#8217;a, to the boundary of the   Sub-Districts of Jenin and Beisan at a point northeast of Nuris. Thence it   proceeds first northwestwards to a point due north of the built-up area of   Zie&#8217;in and then westwards to the Afula-Jenin railway, thence north-westwards   along the District boundary line to the point of intersection on the Hejaz   railway. From here the boundary runs southwestwards, including the built-up   area and some of the land of the village of Kh. Lid in the Arab State to cross   the Haifa-Jenin road at a point on the district boundary between Haifa and   Samaria west of El- Mansi. It follows this boundary to the southernmost point   of the village of El-Buteimat. From here it follows the northern and eastern   boundaries of the village of Ar&#8217;ara rejoining the Haifa-Samaria district   boundary at Wadi &#8216;Ara, and thence proceeding south-south-westwards in an   approximately straight line joining up with the western boundary of Qaqun to a   point east of the railway line on the eastern boundary of Qaqun village. From   here it runs along the railway line some distance to the east of it to a point   just east of the Tulkarm railway station. Thence the boundary follows a line   half-way between the railway and the Tulkarm-Qalqiliya-Jaljuliya and Ras   El-Ein road to a point just east of Ras El-Ein station, whence it proceeds   along the railway some distance to the east of it to the point on the railway   line south of the junction of the Haifa-Lydda and Beit Nabala lines, whence it   proceeds along the southern border of Lydda airport to its south-west corner,   thence in a south-westerly direction to a point just west of the built-up area   of Sarafand El &#8216;Amar, whence it turns south, passing just to the west of the   built-up area of Abu El-Fadil to the north-east corner of the lands of Beer   Ya&#8217;aqov. (The boundary line should be so demarcated as to allow direct access   from the Arab State to the airport.) Thence the boundary line follows the   western and southern boundaries of Ramle village, to the north-east corner of   El Na&#8217;ana village, thence in a straight line to the southernmost point of El   Barriya, along the eastern boundary of that village and the southern boundary   of &#8216;Innaba village. Thence it turns north to follow the southern side of the   Jaffa-Jerusalem road until El-Qubab, whence it follows the road to the   boundary of Abu-Shusha. It runs along the eastern boundaries of Abu Shusha,   Seidun, Hulda to the southernmost point of Hulda, thence westwards in a   straight line to the north-eastern corner of Umm Kalkha, thence following the   northern boundaries of Umm Kalkha, Qazaza and the northern and western   boundaries of Mukhezin to the Gaza District boundary and thence runs across   the village lands of El-Mismiya El-Kabira, and Yasur to the southern point of   intersection, which is midway between the built-up areas of Yasur and Batani   Sharqi.   <P>From the southern point of intersection the boundary lines run   north-westwards between the villages of Gan Yavne and Barqa to the sea at a   point half way between Nabi Yunis and Minat El-Qila, and south-eastwards to a   point west of Qastina, whence it turns in a south-westerly direction, passing   to the east of the built-up areas of Es Sawafir Esh Sharqiya and &#8216;Ibdis. From   the south-east corner of &#8216;Ibdis village it runs to a point southwest of the   built-up area of Beit &#8216;Affa, crossing the Hebron-El-Majdal road just to the   west of the built-up area of &#8216;Iraq Suweidan. Thence it proceeds southward   along the western village boundary of El-Faluja to the Beersheba Sub-District   boundary. It then runs across the tribal lands of &#8216;Arab El-Jubarat to a point   on the boundary between the Sub-Districts of Beersheba and Hebron north of Kh.   Khuweilifa, whence it proceeds in a south-westerly direction to a point on the   Beersheba-Gaza main road two kilometres to the north-west of the town. It then   turns south-eastwards to reach Wadi Sab&#8217; at a point situated one kilometer to   the west of it. From here it turns north-eastwards and proceeds along Wadi   Sab&#8217; and along the Beersheba-Hebron road for a distance of one kilometer,   whence it turns eastwards and runs in a straight line to Kh. Kuseifa to join   the Beersheba-Hebron Sub-District boundary. It then follows the   Beersheba-Hebron boundary eastwards to a point north of Ras Ez-Zuweira, only   departing from it so as to cut across the base of the indentation between   vertical grid lines 150 and 160.   <P>About five kilometres north-east of Ras Ez-Zuweira it turns north,   excluding from the Arab State a strip along the coast of the Dead Sea not more   than seven kilometres in depth, as far as &#8216;Ein Geddi, whence it turns due east   to join the Transjordan frontier in the Dead Sea.   <P>The northern boundary of the Arab section of the coastal plain runs from a   point between Minat El-Qila and Nabi Yunis, passing between the built-up areas   of Gan Yavne and Barqa to the point of intersection. From here it turns   south-westwards, running across the lands of Batani Sharqi, along the eastern   boundary of the lands of Beit Daras and across the lands of Julis, leaving the   built-up areas of Batani Sharqi and Julis to the westwards, as far as the   north-west corner of the lands of Beit-Tima. Thence it runs east of El-Jiya   across the village lands of El-Barbara along the eastern boundaries of the   villages of Beit Jirja, Deir Suneid and Dimra. From the south-east corner of   Dimra the boundary passes across the lands of Beit Hanun, leaving the Jewish   lands of Nir-Am to the eastwards. From the south-east corner of Beit Hanun the   line runs south-west to a point south of the parallel grid line 100, then   turns north-west for two kilometres, turning again in a southwesterly   direction and continuing in an almost straight line to the north-west corner   of the village lands of Kirbet Ikhza&#8217;a. From there it follows the boundary   line of this village to its southernmost point. It then runs in a southerly   direction along the vertical grid line 90 to its junction with the horizontal   grid line 70. It then turns south-eastwards to Kh. El-Ruheiba and then   proceeds in a southerly direction to a point known as El-Baha, beyond which it   crosses the Beersheba-EI &#8216;Auja main road to the west of Kh. El-Mushrifa. From   there it joins Wadi El-Zaiyatin just to the west of El-Subeita. From there it   turns to the north-east and then to the south-east following this Wadi and   passes to the east of &#8216;Abda to join Wadi Nafkh. It then bulges to the   south-west along Wadi Nafkh, Wadi &#8216;Ajrim and Wadi Lassan to the point where   Wadi Lassan crosses the Egyptian frontier.   <P>The area of the Arab enclave of Jaffa consists of that part of the   town-planning area of Jaffa which lies to the west of the Jewish quarters   lying south of Tel-Aviv, to the west of the continuation of Herzl street up to   its junction with the Jaffa-Jerusalem road, to the south-west of the section   of the Jaffa-Jerusalem road lying south-east of that junction, to the west of   Miqve Yisrael lands, to the northwest of Holon local council area, to the   north of the line linking up the north-west corner of Holon with the northeast   corner of Bat Yam local council area and to the north of Bat Yam local council   area. The question of Karton quarter will be decided by the Boundary   Commission, bearing in mind among other considerations the desirability of   including the smallest possible number of its Arab inhabitants and the largest   possible number of its Jewish inhabitants in the Jewish State.   <P>B. THE JEWISH STATE The north-eastern sector of the Jewish State (Eastern   Galilee) is bounded on the north and west by the Lebanese frontier and on the   east by the frontiers of Syria and Trans-jordan. It includes the whole of the   Huleh Basin, Lake Tiberias, the whole of the Beisan Sub-District, the boundary   line being extended to the crest of the Gilboa mountains and the Wadi Malih.   From there the Jewish State extends north-west, following the boundary   described in respect of the Arab State. The Jewish section of the coastal   plain extends from a point between Minat El-Qila and Nabi Yunis in the Gaza   Sub-District and includes the towns of Haifa and Tel-Aviv, leaving Jaffa as an   enclave of the Arab State. The eastern frontier of the Jewish State follows   the boundary described in respect of the Arab State.   <P>The Beersheba area comprises the whole of the Beersheba Sub-District,   including the Negeb and the eastern part of the Gaza Sub-District, but   excluding the town of Beersheba and those areas described in respect of the   Arab State. It includes also a strip of land along the Dead Sea stretching   from the Beersheba-Hebron Sub-District boundary line to &#8216;Ein Geddi, as   described in respect of the Arab State.   <P>C.
