103. I don't understand what you're confused about.
When the documents dick posted were drawn up the Palestinians didn't claim the land in question as their own. The land Israel has not given back is the land that is not owned by any state, nor has it ever been, (with the exception of some land owned by Syria in the North.) Right now that unclaimed land is claimed by two entities. That's what makes it disputed.

It is not officially labeled "disputed" in any cease fire treaty or agreement just as it is not officially designated as "Israel" or "Palestine." There's just no need to officially designate it like that, it doesn't give or remove any special rights to anyone involved. It is pretty obvious that the land is in dispute.

What are you suggesting as an alternative? I'm not certain exactly what you are arguing.
