Ben-Gurion’s Top Secret Signed Letter 1951: Israeli-Syrian Border Conflict Written After the Independence War. The Clam of Israel’s Sovereignty over Demilitarized Syrian Border

In 1951, Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion wrote a classified letter that played a crucial role in establishing Israeli control and ownership over the demilitarized area on the Syrian border. This letter was a significant milestone in Israel’s historical claim to the region.

Background:

After the 1948 war, territories that were meant for the “Jewish state” according to the UN partition plan were held by the Syrian army. However, in 1949, the armistice agreements required the Syrian army to withdraw from these areas, designating them as “demilitarized zones.” Despite this, Israel maintained its claim of sovereignty over these regions, as outlined in the partition plan.

Tensions Escalate:

In 1951, tensions escalated when Syrian forces attacked Israeli workers during the Lake HaHula drying project. This incident brought the disputes over the demilitarized areas to the forefront.

Ben-Gurion Takes a Stand:

In response to the escalating dispute and General Riley’s statement denying sovereign rights to either side, Prime Minister Ben-Gurion wrote a letter on March 13, 1951. This letter was addressed to ministers, government members, and high IDF officials, and it made it clear that Israel intended to apply its laws to the demilitarized areas. It also delineated the responsible authority for the region. As a result, on March 30, the Israeli government took action and decided to realize its sovereignty over these regions.

This classified letter remains a pivotal moment in Israel’s history, shaping the nation’s territorial policy and strengthening its claim over the demilitarized Syrian border.
