there is no "official border". Israel has controlled the west bank since 1967 (beside parts given to the PA during the peace talks) but has never annexed it. the final border should and will be determined by peace talks.
I guess that's where the issue is. My understanding is that the UN never recognized that the border disappeared, starting with resolution 242 and continuing with numerous subsequent resolutions pretaining to the occupation and treatment of the Palestinians.

I was referring more to Ariel, Maale Abdumim, Gutz Etzion to name the big ones
first of all, who says they have no right to exist? second of all, if we were talking about suicide bombers, most of them blew up in towns within the 67 border. and just so you know, gush etzion, was actually supposed to be a part of israel according to the plans but was taken by jordan during the 1948 war.
But those cities are not considered by the international community as part of Israel. Maybe they will be when it's settled but they are significant Israeli settlements residing in occupied Palestinian territory. But I guess arguing that point is an exercise in futility if there's no agreement as to where the green line went.
