The former mandate became Israel and Palestine never became a country.They're still Territories.P F Tinmore, et al,
OH, I cannot believe you said that.
The Arab-Israeli War of 1948 said:The Arab-Israeli War of 1948 broke out when five Arab nations invaded territory in the former Palestinian mandate immediately following the announcement of the independence of the state of Israel on May 14, 1948. In 1947, and again on May 14, 1948, the United States had offered de facto recognition of the Israeli Provisional Government, but during the war, the United States maintained an arms embargo against all belligerents.
After Israel declared its independence on May 14, 1948, the fighting intensified with other Arab forces joining the Palestinian Arabs in attacking territory in the former Palestinian mandate. On the eve of May 14, the Arabs launched an air attack on Tel Aviv, which the Israelis resisted. This action was followed by the invasion of the former Palestinian mandate by Arab armies from Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Egypt. Saudi Arabia sent a formation that fought under the Egyptian command. British trained forces from Transjordan eventually intervened in the conflict, but only in areas that had been designated as part of the Arab state under the United Nations Partition Plan and the corpus separatum of Jerusalem. After tense early fighting, Israeli forces, now under joint command, were able to gain the offensive.

(COMMENT)[
You are slinging Israeli shit again.
Nobody attacked Israel.
Five Arab nations invaded territory in the former Palestinian mandate immediately following the announcement of the independence of the state of Israel on May 14, 1948.
Five Arab States had deployed their armed forces in a coordinated attack on positions outside their borders.
On mid-night, 14 May 1948, the British disengaged its forces. On the same day, the Jewish Agency announced Independence for the State of Israel on the territory allotted to it by the partition plan. The Arab League States immediately broke into conflict against Jewish communities; entered the territory under the pretext to assist the Palestinian Arabs. While the Lebanese and Syrians made no gains, the Jordanians and the Egyptians used the pretext to expand their territories; Egypt taking the Gaza Strip and the Jordanian taking the entirety of the West Bank.
Most Respectfully,
RFive Arab nations invaded territory in the former Palestinian mandate
That would be Palestine not Israel.
