How did the Arab world react to the creation of Israel?
Even after Israel was recognised by most of the western world and was admitted to the United Nations, the Arab world refused to recognise or negotiate with Israel and took whatever steps it could to undermine Israel’s existence. The Arab League organised and maintained an economic boycott on Israel, refusing to do business with Israel or even with companies that operated there. Only in recent years has this boycott started to relax. In addition, Arab states supported terror organisations that launched attacks on Israel.
