Probably the most important event in the Middle East in May of 1948 was the final British withdrawal from Mandatory Palestine and the subsequent DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL.

While there were already skirmishes between Jewish Militias and Arab Militias from November of 1947, the day after Israel's Declaration of Independence, seven Arab armies from neighboring countries joined with the Arab Militias to officially start the Arab-Israeli War of 1948. As the fighting progressed, Israel was able to repel the invaders and claim about 78% of British Mandate of Palestine as the grounds of their new state by April of 1949. The War is considered by most to be an Israeli Victory.
