Answer 2

D. Many Palestinians became refugees living in camps in Syria and Lebanon.

Step-by-step explanation:

The United Nations passed a resolution calling for the creation of two states in the former British Mandate of Palestine, one Arab state and a Jewish state. The Arabs rejected the resolution but the Jews accepted it and proclaimed the state of Israel in May 1948. Refusing to accept Israel´s existence, Arab armies from Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon and Jordan attacked the state of Israel. The Israelis prevailed and defeated all their enemies. It was the First Arab-Israeli War.

Israelis call it the War of Independence and the Palestinians call it the Catastrophe or Nakba. Millions of Palestinians were displaced and had to run to neighboring countries, living for decades in refugee camps. They have never been able to return to their old homes.
