How did the Arab-israeili war of 1948 affect Palestinian Arabs?

The Palestinian Arabs and Jewish Militias were already embroiled in a civil war as early as 1946 (but primarily in 1947) before the conflict widened to be an international Arab-Israeli War. Most Palestinians fled either because of fear of Jewish/Israeli retaliation, incitement by community leaders, or generally a desire to be away from the conflict. After the war, Palestinians see the events of the 1947-1949 Jewish-Arab Engagement as the Nakba (Great Catastrophe).

How many Arabs became refugees in the war of 1948?

In May 1948, about 1,250,000 Arabs lived in British Mandate Palestine. 670,000 Arabs fled the new state of Israel and slightly less than 65,000 were ever able to return to their homes. That resulted in slightly more than 605,000 Palestinian Arabs, becoming refugees in countries outside of the new state of Israel. Children and other relatives, have been added to the total number of Palestinian refugees over the years.


Of the more than 800 000 Arabs who lived in the Israeli held territory before 1948 how many remained after 1948?

Only 170,000 Arabs who lived in what would become Israeli-held territory after the war prior to the war in 1948 remained in Israel after 1948. (The phrasing is convoluted since the borders of Israel were only established after the 1948 war, however, if we use those same borders and extrapolate them into the past, this is where the 170,000 number comes from. Note also that this number does not count Druze, Bedouins, Circassians, Armenians, and any other non-Jewish minority that does not identify as Palestinian). Since the question does not ask about it, this question will not deal for the reasons behind that departure. More on that can be read at the Related Question below. It is also worth noting that 170,000 Israeli Arabs who remained in Israel in 1949 have now blossomed into a population of more than 1.6 million individuals. Please see the comment section for more information on other ambiguities.

Did the Arabs proclaimed an independent Israel in 1948?

The leaders of Israel, mostly European and Russian immigrant Jews, proclaimed a sovereign, independent Israel in 1948. The Arabs who lived in Israel at the time, and who chose to stay there, became full citizens of the country at the same time as everyone else there. However, there were no non-Jewish Arabs who actively supported the Zionists before the Declaration of Statehood. (Therefore, there were no Arabs on Ben-Gurion's committee that sanctioned the Declaration of Statehood.) Some of the Arabs who chose not to flee during the Jewish-Arab Engagements of 1947-1949 (and Arab Israeli War of 1948-9), like the Sheikh of Abu Ghosh made open pacts with the State of Israel after the Declaration recognizing both its Right to Exist and their allegiance to its vision of Jewish Democracy. Other Sheikhs who stayed openly contributed to the Israeli War Effort during this period either with supplies or (much more rarely) manpower.
