Most fled because war was imminent. Some were forcibly displaced, as I said before.
Arab leaders inside Palestine and outside had called for Palestinians to evacuate and return after the war was won and the Jews were thrown into the sea.
The situation and history in Haifa gives you an idea of the complexities and chaos of the situation.
People fleeing from war happens in all wars. Itβs usually the more well off that leave first.
Where do the 20% of non Jewish citizens of Israel come from? They are those who stayed and their descendants.
