So what country is Israel "occupying" according to the Geneva Conventions? Irrelevant. The parties of the armed conflict in 1967 were Egypt, Israel, Jordan and Syria. So we agree GC having been applicable in 1967 Article 6 The present Convention shall apply from the outset of any conflict or occupation mentioned in Article 2 ... In the case of occupied territory, the application of the present Convention shall cease one year after the general close of military operations; however, the Occupying Power shall be bound, for the duration of the occupation, to the extent that such Power exercises the functions of government in such territory, by the provisions of the following Articles of the present Convention: I to 12, 27, 29 to 34, 47, 49, 51, 52, 53, 59, 61 to 77, and 143. Article 49 ... The Occupying Power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies. Do you see the term "country"? Nadine, I think we can stop here. As I said, among known experts for international law you don't find too many defending Israels position. Not even in Israel. Boris
