Having secured the support of the British government for the creation of a Jewish state in Palestine, on May 14, 1948, as soon as the British Mandate expired, Israeli forces declared the establishment of the State of Israel, triggering the first Arab-Israeli war. Later on, they expelled at least 750,000 Palestinians from their homes and lands and captured 78 percent of historic Palestine. The remaining 22 percent was divided into what are now the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. (source: https://www.aljazeera.com/). Jordanian Darin J.
