It shows 4 seperate things.
1) Land owned by Jews in what is now Israel. At this time that land was part of the Ottoman Turkish Empire and then the British Mandate of Palestine. The rest of the land was mostly held pubicly and not by Paelstinians.
2) The initial borders. The Arabs rejected these borders.
3) The ceasefire line after the 1967 war. A war where several Arab nations attacked Israel. If Israel had lost that war, the Arabs would not be giving them back any land.
4) The land under control of the Palestinian National Authority...in the year 2000. Since then Israel has withdrawn from the Gaza Strip.
