Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -During the 1948 Palestine war in which the State of Israel was established, around 700, 000 Palestinian Arabs or 85% of the total population of the territory Israel captured fled or were expelled from their homes by Israeli forces.

Detailed explanation-2: -Under separate agreements between Israel and the neighboring states of Egypt, Lebanon, Transjordan, and Syria, these bordering nations agreed to formal armistice lines. Israel gained some territory formerly granted to Palestinian Arabs under the United Nations resolution in 1947.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Arab Israeli War in 1948 obliterated the Palestinian landscape, destroyed 531 villages, uprooted 800, 000 people, and resulted in millions of Palestinian refugees and internally displaced persons (IDP).

Detailed explanation-4: -To summarise, having analysed Zionism, Arab nationalism and British foreign policy as three key causes of the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, as well as three major consequences of the war, this essay can conclude that the 1948 Arab-Israeli war was a highly complex conflict with its origins going as far back as biblical times.
