The correct answer is B. Israel pushed back Arab armies and gained even more land. During the wars, particularly the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, Israel not only defended its territory but expanded its borders beyond the areas allocated to it by the United Nations. In subsequent conflicts, such as the Six-Day War in 1967, Israel gained significant territories, including the Sinai Peninsula, which it later returned to Egypt as part of a peace treaty.
