Template:Campaignbox Arab-Israeli conflictThe 1947-48 Palestinian civil war took place from November 30 1947, shortly after the 1947 UN Partition Plan, to May 14 1948 when the British Mandate of Palestine ended.
This period constitutes the first phase of the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, during which the Jewish and Arab communities of Palestine clashed, while the ruling British, who were supposed to guarantee safety there, planned their withdrawal and only occasionally intervened.
The following phase will be the 1948 Arab-Israeli War which began May 15, after the the State of Israel declared itself as an independent nation.
Background
Since 1920, Palestine is under British administration but within the country zionist Jews fight nationalist palestinian Arabs and both fight the occupying British troops. At that time, the population of Palestine consisted of approximately 589,200 Muslims, 83,800 Jews, 71,500 Christians and 7,600 others (1922 census ). This fight culminated by the Arab revolt in Palestine from 1936 to 1939.
