The Green Line is the de facto boundary betwenn Israel and Palestine under the 1949 armistice agreements following the Nakba.
However, it has been all but erased by the Israeli education system. Rami Younis, of +972 Magazine, talked to "educators" about how it happened and what it means.

Several
Hamas security men also injured in the bombing blamed on ISIL near the
Palestinian enclave's border with Egypt. 17 Aug 2017 02:15 GMT a Hamas security
man was killed on Thursday in the southern Gaza Strip near the Palestinian
enclave's border with Egypt. "A security force stopped two persons who approached
the border. One of them blew himself up and was killed. The other was
wounded," the Hamas-run Interior Ministry said in a statement. It said
several Hamas security men were hurt, and hospital officials told reporters
that one of them died of his wounds. Sources named the security man as Nidal
al-Jaafari, 28. The assailant in the blast was a member of the Daesh – Islamic
State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, also known as ISIS). It would be the first
time a suicide attack has targeted Hamas forces in Gaza, security sources said.
A fight to
defeat resistance Hamas, which rules the Gaza Strip, has stepped up patrols in
the border area with the declared aim of preventing the movement of so-called
"Jihadist Salafis" between the territory and the Sinai Peninsula,
where ISIL and other groups have been battling Egyptian troops for years. Hamas
has recently been pursuing improved relations with Egypt, which keeps its
border crossing with Gaza largely shut and has accused the group in the past of
aiding fighters in the Sinai. Hamas has denied those allegations. Israel, the
only other country Gaza borders, has maintained a decade-long blockade on the
strip.
Also in Gaza, the Israeli military has instituted a
travel ban on food, toiletries and most electronic devices for Palestinians
exiting the Strip.
The army sent the
new directive to Gisha, an Israeli NGO that promotes freedom of movement for
Palestinians, a day before it went into effect earlier this month.
The directive was not, however, published in the
“Status of Closure Authorizations,” a document meant to inform Palestinians in
Gaza and the West Bank about restrictions on movement.
Even Palestinians traveling abroad, who must take a bus directly from the Gaza border — through Israel — to Jordan, are subject to the new restrictions.
Palestinians in Gaza are no longer allowed to bring their laptops, toiletries or hard-sided luggage when exiting Gaza through the only regularly active passenger border terminal, Israel’s Erez crossing. Even Palestinians traveling to conferences, for business, or for studies abroad are not allowed to bring laptop computers.
“Every Tuesday there is an organized ride from Erez Crossing for those who want to travel abroad, which takes them directly to Allenby Bridge so that they can go on to Jordan. Most of [the passengers] are students, especially at this time of the year,” said Gisha’s Intake Coordinator Shadi Butthish. “These are people who are traveling to get graduate degrees because Israeli policy does not allow Palestinian undergraduate students to travel.”
“Naturally, they would need to take laptops and tablets with them on their travels,” Butthish continued. “Even USBs will need to remain behind in the Strip. People who are flying abroad for a few years won’t be able to bring their electric shavers.”
Non-Palestinians are exempt from the new restrictions, as long as they declare any electronic devices included in their luggage.
Israel has held Gaza under a strict blockade since 2007, after Hamas won an election in the Strip and took over the enclave. Since then, it has restricted basic goods from entering Gaza, and has significantly limited the number of people who can enter and exit the Strip — effectively cutting it off from the rest of the world. After the 2014 Gaza war, Israel pledged to join international efforts to rehabilitate Gaza, saying it would ease the passage of goods and people to and from the Strip.
The Israeli army sent the following response: “The entry into or passage through Israel is not a natural right. Unfortunately, we have seen repeated and varying attempts by the Hamas terror organization to exploit the population for purposes of terrorism against Israel. Accordingly, following a collaborative effort by all of the security authorities, including the [IDF’s] Land Crossings Authority, it was decided to update the security regulations at the Erez Crossing. The changed regulations apply to [Gaza] residents when they enter Israel from the Gaza Strip. The regulations are changed according to the various populations and the purpose of the permit in their possession.”
