PALESTINIANS REFUSED THEIR OWN COUNTRY 1948

[Gość: ZIONISTA]

The State of Israel

Independence


On 14 May 1948, Israel proclaimed its independence. Less than 24 hours
later, the regular armies of Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and Iraq invaded
the country, forcing Israel to defend the sovereignty it had regained in its
ancestral homeland.

In what became known as Israel's War of Independence, the newly formed,
poorly equipped Israel Defense Forces (IDF) repulsed the invaders in fierce
intermittent fighting, which lasted some 15 months and claimed over 6,000
Israeli lives (nearly one percent of the country's Jewish population at the
time).

During the first months of 1949, direct negotiations were conducted under UN
auspices between Israel and each of the invading countries (except Iraq
which refused to negotiate with Israel), resulting in armistice agreements
which reflected the situation at the end of the fighting. Accordingly, the
coastal plain, Galilee and the entire Negev were within Israel's
sovereignty, Judea and Samaria (the West Bank) came under Jordanian rule,
the Gaza Strip came under Egyptian administration, and the city of Jerusalem
was divided, with Jordan controlling the eastern part, including the Old
City, and Israel the western sector.
