The current borders of the State of Israel are the result both of war and diplomatic agreements among Israel, her neighbors, and colonial powers. Only two of Israel's five land borders are internationally recognized - the other three are disputed.  Israel's borders with Egypt and Jordan have been formally recognized and confirmed as part of the peace treaties with those countries. The borders with Syria (The Golan Heights), Lebanon (The Shebaa farms) and the Palestinian territories (declared as the State of Palestine) are still in dispute.
