And let me make clear that was not the Israelis only consideration......for some time, they had been looking for ways to reduce the Arab population in Israel. The war gave them an opportunity that they quickly took. There was no Israel "for some time" before the war in question. The modern state of Israel started and immediately the war started. In fact, some Palestinians were absorbed into other Arab states but the vast majority didn't want to or couldn't. In many cases they were blocked from assimilation by the Arab states, up to literally being forced in to the camps by the Arab states. Israel not letting them back in to Israel wasn't the act that forced them in to the camps.
