As you know I plan on editing the 1948 Arab-Israeli War wiki page. I am going to be working underneath the header of Armed Forces and working under the section Arab Forces and simply filling in a bit more information on the armies involved in the coalition of 1948. I actually found out that the source I found was an excerpt from Avi Shlaim. I am going to propose editing the Arab armies that were involved in this war and how was it that they were funded and supported. I am also going to be discussing how they were trained because the section on the wiki page does not discuss that either. I was actually surprised as to how little they had over the Arab Forces seeing as they did not even mention the fact that it was neighboring states that made up the army. I plan on discussing the all those who were entailed in the Holy War Army, Arab Liberation Army, the Arab Legion and the armies of the surrounding Arab states' armies that were sent into Israel. I am also going to talk about the Zionists relationship with Transjordan and also the ALA and how these relationships created a neutrality in the forces. I am planning on talking about how the neutrality of Transjordan was then broken when King Abdullah was almost forced to join the other Arab armies in invading Israel. I will talk a little bit about the initial invasion but not much just discussing some issues that had happened.
