Second Palestinian War

The Second Palestinian War was fought between the State of Israel, supported by the French State, United Kingdom and Kingdom of Iraq, against the Arab Republic of Jordan, supported by the United Arab Republic, from 1957 to 1958.
The war began as a reaction to the 1957 Jordanian Revolution which saw the Hashemite dynasty that ruled the Kingdom of Jordan be overthrown in a military-led coup by Nasserist officers who sought to promote pan-Arab nationalism. The Israelis saw this as a direct threat to their existence as a unified Arab nation on its border would pose a major security risk to the existence of the only free and independent Jewish nation.
