The 1948 War and the Battle for Jerusalem
Om avsnittet
In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the critical Battle for Jerusalem during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. They follow the siege from its beginning in December 1947, through the desperate convoys to the Jewish enclave, the fall of the Etzion Bloc, and the fierce fighting for the Old City. They discuss key figures like David Shaltiel, Abdullah el-Tell, and Glubb Pasha, and the strategic importance of the Latrun crossroads. The conversation also examines the de facto partition of Jerusalem, leading to the divided city that would remain until 1967. Lucas explains how the battle shaped Palestinian displacement and the city's contested status today, using specific locations like Bab al-Wad, Mount Scopus, and the Mandelbaum Gate.
