Default What's the difference

Here is the exact text of UNSC resolution 242 (22nd November 1967)regarding the Israeli withdrawal:

"Withdrawal of Israeli armed forces from territories occupied in the recent conflict" How should this be interpreted in practical terms?

1) The "recent conflict" is clearly the 6 Day War - right Abu? So the resolution demands that Israel withdraw to the borders as they existed before the 6 Day War - or is this incorrect? If incorrect, in what way - the wording seems clear to me.

2) Given the above, I would appreciate it if you could tell me how the pre-6 Day War boundary differs from that established in the 1949 armistice - the Green Line. Perhaps my information is too rudimentary, but I thought these were equivalent.

If so, I dont understand the point of your post - what are you trying to refute in terms that are significant?
