I'm curious with these concessions you speak of, giving that the area of Israel has increased dramatically since the creation of the country, or even 1967. Maybe in another thread so we don't derail this thread even further
The concessions were prior to May 14, 1948. The Palestine was divided by the UN into Israel and the Transjordan. Even with the Transjordan being some 75% of Palestine there were objections the future Israelis surrendered a further 25% of the lands to the Arabs. To date this and all other concessions have never been enough. As for maintaining "more" lands those are called security zones.
