1948 Palestine war - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

1948 Palestine war

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 1948 Palestine war refers to the events that happened in Palestine between the vote on the partition plan of Palestine on November 30, 1947, to the end of the first Arab-Israeli war on July 20, 1949.[1]

Historians divide this into two phases:

At the issue of the war, the State of Israel kept most of the area it had been allocated by the partition plan and took control of Jaffa, Lydda and Ramle area, Galilee, Negev, a strip along the Tel-Aviv-Jerusalem road and some territories around Samaria (called today West Bank). No Arab Palestinian state was created: the remainder of the West Bank was annexed by Jordan and the Gaza Strip was placed under Egyptian military rule. During that war, between 700,000 and 750,000 Palestian Arabs fled or were expelled from the area that became Israel.

The Israeli often refer to this period as their War of Independence or War of Liberation, because it saw the birth of the State of Israel while Palestinians and Arabs refer to this as al-Nakba (the catastrophe), because of the massive population exodus and the death of their nationalist aspirations, due to the takeover of their land.

[edit] Controversies

After the war, Israeli and Palestinian historiographies differed on the interpretation of the events of 1948. In 1980, and the opening of the Israeli and British archives, Israeli historians started giving new insights on them. Particularly, the role played by Abdullah I of Jordan, the British government, the Arab aims during the war, the balance of force and the events related to the Palestinian exodus have been nuanced or given new interpretations.[3] Some of them are still hotly debated among historians and commentators of the conflict today.[4]
