the 1949 Armistice..

As a cease-fire, it was never honored...

Excepting the agreement with Lebanon, the armistice agreements were clear (at Arab insistence) that they were not creating permanent or de jure borders. The Egyptian-Israeli agreement stated "The Armistice Demarcation Line is not to be construed in any sense as a political or territorial boundary, and is delineated without prejudice to rights, claims and positions of either Party to the Armistice as regards ultimate settlement of the Palestine question."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1949_Armistice_Agreement

Now those "arabs calling themselves palestinians" want to change the rules, and call up an agreement that they themselves insisted was not "definitive" and had no standing as a border or boundary agreement..
None whatsoever..
