The Jordan River. There is a small part of the Jordan River north of the West Bank that was part of the Israeli-Jordanian border.

Prior to that war the West Bank was part of Jordan & Jerusalem was a divided city. The Jordan River forms a large part of that international boundary (between Israel-West Bank and Jordan. South of the Dead Sea, the Israeli-Jordanian border follows the Wadi Arabah valley.

What part of the promised Land did Joshua capture?
God told Moses to prepare a young Hebrew, Joshua, to assume the leadership of the Israelites upon Moses' death. Forty years later, the Israelites were camped on the eastern side of the Dead Sea when Moses died. God told Joshua it was time to lead the people across the Jordan River into the Promised Land. In the Hebrew Bible, the "Land of Canaan" extends from Lebanon southward across Gaza to the "Brook of Egypt" and eastward to the Jordan River Valley, thus including modern Israel and the Palestinian Territories. The Lord helped Joshua lead the Hebrew people into the Promised Land. When they entered this land, the Israelites had to cross the Jordan River. At God's command, Joshua told the priests to take the Ark of the Covenant into the river. A great battle with the people of the land of Canaan took place by the city of Gabaon. The Israelites defeated their enemies and put them to flight while God rained stones from heaven on those who were fleeing, so that more perished from the stones than from the swords of the Israelites. The day was coming to an end, but the Israelites had not yet routed their enemies. Joshua then prayed to God and cried out aloud before the people, "Sun, stand still, and moon, do not move..." And the sun did stand still, and night did not come until the Israelites had defeated their enemies.
Can Joshua of the Bible be verified as historical?
The Book of Joshua describes how Joshua led the Israelites across the River Jordan and conquered the entire land of the Canaanites. Whether Joshua is historical depends first of all on whether that conquest is verified as historical, and it fails this first test. In the last quarter of a century, archaeological evidence has been the prime factor in finally disproving the conquest of the Canaanites, in addition to critical study of the biblical texts.The conquest model described in the Bible had strong support among historians and scholars until around the middle part of the twentieth century, but has since been all but abandoned by mainstream scholars and continues to be pressed by only a few conservative scholars (Lester L Grabbe, Ancient Israel: What Do We Know and How Do We Know It?, P102).
