WHAT HAPPENED IN THE 1947- 1948 WAR THAT ENDED WITH AL-NAKBA
During the 1947-48 war, Jordanian King Abdullah was in collaboration with the Zionist leadership. Moreover, the Jordanian army was led by British officers.
On 17 November 1947, a secret meeting was held between King Abdullah and Golda Meyerson (Meir) of the Jewish Agency (JA) to discuss co-operation between the two sides. Abdullah stated that he would not take part in any Arab attack against the Jews and would always remain their friend. Meyerson signaled the king that the Jews would not interfere with his annexation of territory delineated for the Arab State of Palestine. This formed a tacit, non-written and informal agreement between the two sides. (Michael Bar-Zohar, Ben-Gurion: A Biography. New York: Delacorte Press, 1977, p. 157)
On 7 February 1948, Bevin, in his Foreign Office in London, received Tawfiq Abul Huda [the Jordanian Prime Minister] and Glubb Pasha [the British officer leading the Jordanian army] for discussions on the future of Palestine. Jordan was given a green light to occupy the Arab part of Palestine provided they refrain from invading the areas allotted to the Jewish State.
On 3 April 1948, Operation Nachshon was launched to open the road to Jerusalem, which marked the starting point of the Zionists' operational Plan Dalet.
Qastel is an Arab village ten kilometers west of Jerusalem on a strategic summit overlooking the Jerusalem-Jaffa road. A large Palmach force in armored cars and supported by mortars occupied Qastel after a short engagement with the villagers. After occupying the village, the Palmach expelled all the inhabitants and proceeded to fortify it with barbed wire and bunkers or reinforced concrete.
Abdul Qadir al-Husayni, the ablest and most charismatic of the mufti's military commanders, was killed in the counter-attack at Qastel on April 8. His death led to the collapse of the Husayni forces in Palestine. Shortly before his death, Abd al-Qadir telephoned Qawukji to ask for an urgent supply of arms and ammunition to beat off the Jewish offensive. Qawukji turned down this request in spite of his large stocks of war material supplied by the Arab League.
On 13 May 1948, The Iraqi general Sir Ismail Safwat, chairman of the Arab league's military committee, who had been appointed to lead the Arab armies in Palestine, resigned because there was no agreement on a precise plan for the war. This was another indicator that the Zionists were not in a state of self-defense as claimed. On the contrary, they were active in implementing the tacit agreement with Jordan to frustrate the creation of a Palestinian State.
