More aggressive Israel 1947/48

ATL, Israel goes hardcore after its victory in the first war, and does the following:

- Forcibly removes all Arabs from the West Bank and Gaza, pushing them into Jordan, Syria, Egypt and Lebanon

- Israel immediately begins a de-Islamification process of the country, including destruction all Islamic sites, including the Al-Aqsa Mosque and Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem. The process is pre-planned and executed so quickly the world can not react.

Now what?
 
Well, the IDF almost managed to encircle the Gaza Strip in Operation Horev but due to heavy international pressure and threats by the British to invoke the 1936 treaty the IDF was forced to retreat
Even though the Israeli government didn't destroyed any Islamic site it did changed names of former Arab settlements.
 
The Jordanian Arab Legion, with British officers, was beating the Israelis badly in East Jerusalem. If the war goes on the Jordanians might push them from the entire city. This would prevent destruction of Jerusalem holy sites and West Bank issue. Gaza is open for this plan however...

Umm, no. The Arab Legion took the isolated Jewish Quarter of East Jerusalem, but was seriously depleted by that struggle - they made very little progress elsewhere in the sector, and by the end of the war, the Israeli army could probably have taken the whole West Bank.

Now what?

Highly unlikely. The Labor Zionists who ruled Israel during the war were nearly atheist socialists, who very much wanted to avoid extreme ethnic violence or religious violence.

If one could put Betar in charge, maybe.
