The appropriation was quickly canceled...
...Goren and his military-government staff first had to disband all enemy units and ferret out potential terrorists, sending the most dangerous ones to the Athlit P.O.W. camp south of Haifa. Then he turned to the task of supplying food and water to the abysmally poor people-mostly jobless Palestinian refugees who had been living on the U.N. food dole of 1,500 calories a day.

But although they put down their guns, the Arabs still refused to recognize the existence of Israel. Their pride was stung, and they swore vengeance. During the war, moreover, 750,000 Palestinian Arabs fled from the land of their own ancestors; they filed sullenly into refugee camps across Israel's borders, where they have stayed for 19 bitter years, waiting to return...
