CEVAP:

Arab states refused to accept the partition plan. A few hours after the proclamation of independence of Israel, the armies of five Arab nations, Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Transjordan (Since 1949 Jordan), and Lebanon invaded the newly established country on the night of 15 May 1948. Cold War superpowers influenced the war by providing military aid to their allies in the Middle East. The war ended in 1949 with an armistice. However, this agreement left the main issues unresolved and created the conditions for substantial wars involving Arab states and Israel, including the wars of 1956, 1967, 1969-70, 1973, and 1982.
