叙以和谈中的一桩历史边界纠纷--1926年英法中东<睦邻条约>的影响

1991年 10月开幕的马德里和会开启了全面解决阿以冲突的和平进程。然而 ,作为双边谈判的重要一环———叙以和谈却屡屡受挫。历史上叙以之间存在着 3条边界 :192 3年边界、1949年停火线和 196 7年战争前双方实际控制线。谈判中 ,以色列坚持以 192 3年边界作为两国实现最终和平的边界线 ,而叙利亚强调 196 7年战争前双方实际控制线。后来以色列立场有所松动 ,因为它意识到还存在着一个 192 6年英法在中东达成的《睦邻条约》。如果以色列坚持 192 3年边界 ,它就得承认 192 6年《睦邻条约》中规定的“叙利亚享有在太巴列湖、胡拉湖和约旦河的渔猎和航行的权利” ,对此 ,以色列历届政府至今未置一辞 ,双方在边界谈判的基点上不能达成一致 ,和谈陷入僵局。

Border Conflict between Syria and Israel--the Influence of Agreement of Good Neighbourly Relations between Britain and France

Madrid Peace Conference initiated the Peace Process for completely resolving the Arab-Israel conflict in Oct.1991. Though it is an important chain of bilateral talks, Syria-Israel peace talk is in a deadlock. There are 3 historical borders between Syria and Israel: 1923 border, 1949 ceasefire line and the actual controlling line of both sides before the 1967 War. During the peace-talks, Israel insists on the 1923 border to be the final border while Syria prefers the actual controlling lines before the 1967 War. Later on, Israel changed its mind and showed its will to accept Syrian proposal with qualifications, because there is an Agreement of Good Neighbourly Relations concluded by Britain and France in 1926. If Israel accepts the 1923 border, it should recognize Syria's rights of fishing and navigation on Lake Tiberius, Lake Huleh and the Jordan River on which Israeli governments never say a word. Not based on the same text, the peace-talk between Syria and Israel has been in an impasse.
