who backed Israel in the 1948 Arab-Israeli War?

Question

were Israel get it's arms from, and for top marks did the Arabs states get any armament from outside there states?

Answer 1

Most of the weapons the Israelis had were smuggled in but they did gain a huge amount after the Brits pulled out.

The Arab nations had armed themselves with Soviet equipment but the arms markets was flooded with postwar weaponry.

It was only after the war that the US Brits and France aided Israel

Answer 2

Use some facts people

Israel's weapons during the 1948 were almost all donated and smuggled in by the Czech Republic (Czechoslovakia back then).

Also, the "Israelis" that fought for the Jewish Brigade in Britain's army during WWII still had their British issue weapons in the 1948 war. That though was a small minority.

Also, fact check, the USSR did not actively support the Arab armies until years after the war was done. Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon and Transjordan (now Jordan) all had their own armies and supplied their forces themselves.

The reason the Israelis won was because the "Haganah", the underground militant organization which became the Israeli army, was at the time far more organized and intelligent than any of the Arab armies.

The constant influx of Jewish immigrants from Europe also helped turn the tide of the battle.

But to reiterate, almost all of the weapons on the Israeli side were smuggled in from Czechoslovakia.
