The 1948-49 Arab-Israeli War secured Israel’s independence, the establishment of a temporary border with its neighbors, and resulted in the beginning of a Palestinian refugee crisis. It is known as the War of Independence in Israel and the Nakba (Arabic for “Catastrophe”) in the Arab world due to the displacement of many Palestinians.
