In 1948, the Muslim world was profoundly shaped by the 1948 Palestine War (also known as the First Arab-Israeli War), which resulted in the establishment of the State of Israel, the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, and a series of political upheavals across the region. This period is recognized in the Arab world as the Nakba ("the catastrophe"). Key events in the Muslim world in 1948 included: Establishment of Israel and Arab Intervention:Following the termination of the British Mandate on May 14, 1948, and the declaration of the State of Israel, neighboring Arab nations—Egypt, Jordan (Transjordan), Syria, Lebanon, and Iraq—invaded with the aim of aiding Palestinian Arabs, marking the start of the Arab-Israeli War. The Nakba (Palestinian Exodus): Approximately 700,000 to 750,000 Palestinians fled or were expelled from their homes by Zionist forces during the conflict. This mass displacement led to a lasting refugee crisis in neighboring Arab countries. Division of Mandatory Palestine: By the end of the fighting (formally concluding with 1949 armistice agreements), Israel held about 78% of the former territory. Jordan took control of the West Bank (including East Jerusalem), while Egypt occupied the Gaza Strip. Political Instability in Arab States: The failure to prevent the establishment of Israel led to deep frustration and political instability in surrounding Arab nations. In Syria, three military coups occurred in 1949 as a direct result of the defeat. Assassination of the Egyptian PM: On December 28, 1948, a member of the Muslim Brotherhood assassinated Egyptian Prime Minister Mahmud Fahmi Nokrashi, reflecting the intense domestic unrest in Egypt. All-Palestine Government: On September 22, 1948, the Arab League, in an effort to assert authority, announced the formation of the All-Palestine Government in Gaza, which was heavily dependent on Egypt. The Jewish Exodus from Arab Lands Begins: As a result of the war, anti-Jewish riots broke out in several Arab countries, such as in Oujda and Djerada, Morocco, in June 1948. This initiated a massive, multi-year migration of hundreds of thousands of Jews from Muslim countries to Israel. The year 1948 marked the beginning of a long-term geopolitical shift, with the Arab-Israeli conflict becoming a central, defining issue in the Middle East.
