Not all. Those who didn't leave got Izraeli citizenship.
Yes, it's an interesting fact in all of this, that close to 20% of the population within Israel itself is Arab. And while being far from fully integrated into Israeli society, they do enjoy more freedom than Arab citizens of other states in the Middle East. It's a different situation for those that live in the occupied territories though.
