April 1948 CE

The Haganah goes on the offensive and, in a series of operations carried out from early April, successfully consolidates and creates communications links with those Jewish settlements designated by the UN to become the Jewish state.

David Ben-Gurion, addressing the Zionist Action Committee on April 6th, 1948, states, “We will not be able to win the war if we do not, during the war, populate upper and lower, eastern and western Galilee, the Negev and Jerusalem area ... I believe that war will also bring in its wake a great change in the distribution of Arab population.”
