The 1948 Battle for Jerusalem: A City Divided

6 min•17 maj 2026

In 1948, Jerusalem became the epicenter of a brutal war as Jewish and Arab forces fought for control of the city. This episode follows the siege of Jerusalem's Jewish quarter, the heroism of convoys breaking through the Arab blockade, and the eventual division of the city between Israel and Jordan. We explore the role of key figures like David Shaltiel, Abd al-Qadir al-Husseini, and Glubb Pasha, and examine how the battle shaped the modern geography and politics of Jerusalem. From the bloody battles at Kastel and Latrun to the surrender of the Jewish Quarter and the armistice that left the city split by barbed wire, this is a story of courage, tragedy, and a peace that was anything but peaceful.
