to permanent peace in Palestine, to negotiate an armistice;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n \n Having decided to enter into negotiations under United Nations chairmanship concerning the implementation of the Security Council resolution of 16 November 1948; and having appointed representatives empowered to negotiate and conclude an Armistice Agreement;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n \n The undersigned representatives of their respective Governments, having exchanged their full powers found to be in good and proper form, have agreed upon the following provisions:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n \n Article

Security Council against resort to military force in the settlement of the Palestine question shall henceforth be scrupulously respected by both Parties;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n \n 2.No aggressive action by the armed forces – land, sea, or air – of either Party shall be undertaken, planned, or threatened against the people or the armed forces of the other; it being understood that the use of the term planned in this context has no bearing on normal staff planning as generally practised in military organizations;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n \n 3.The right of each Party to its security and freedom from fear of attack by the armed forces of the other shall be fully respected;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n \n 4.The establishment of an armistice between the armed forces of the two Parties is accepted as an indispensable step toward the liquidation of armed conflict and the restoration of peace in Palestine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n \n Article II<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n \n With a specific view to the implementation of the resolution of the Security Council of 16 November 1948, the following principles and purposes are affirmed:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n \n 1.The principle that no military or political advantage should be gained under the truce ordered by the Security Council is recognized;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n \n 2.It is also recognized that no provision of this Agreement shall in any way prejudice the rights, claims and positions of either Party hereto in the ultimate peaceful settlement of the Palestine question, the provisions of this Agreement being dictated exclusively by military considerations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n \n Article III<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n \n 1.In pursuance of the foregoing principles and of the resolution of the Security Council of 16 November 1948, a general armistice between the armed forces of the two Parties – land, sea and air – is hereby established.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n \n 2.No element of the land, sea or air military or

Armistice Demarcation Lines is to delineate the lines beyond which the armed forces of the respective Parties shall not move.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n \n 3.Rules and regulations of the armed forces of the Parties, which prohibit civilians from crossing the fighting lines or entering the area between the lines, shall remain in effect after the signing of this Agreement with application to the

involves substantial deviation from the existing military lines in favour of the forces of the Hashemite Jordan Kingdom, is designated to offset the modifications of the existing military lines in the Iraqi sector set forth in paragraph 3 of this article.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n \n 5.In compensation for the road acquired between Tulkarem and Qalqiliya, the Government of Israel agrees to pay to the
