There was considerable interest in Glubb Pasha’s map of Palestine, showing Arab troop movements during the war of 1948, which I posted a couple of days ago. I have therefore posted his next map in Peace in the Holy Land, which shows the areas seized by Israel during the war. Note that the Gaza Strip was formerly almost twice as long as it is now, and remember that the Palestinians of Gaza don’t have access to a buffer zone on their side of the border with Israel — an area that includes some of their best agricultural land.
