On May 14, 1948, the last British troops pulled out of Palestine as prominent members of the future Israeli government, such as David Ben-Gurion, met in Tel Aviv to declare Israel as a brand new state. Shortly afterwards, armies from Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and other Arab royalist nations set out from their homelands to quash the new state. However, members of the Israeli Army were better trained than their opponents. In addition, the Arab nations' supply lines were overextended whereas Israel's were more organized and had a central command.
