Palestine Conflict (Episode-3)

Jews watched the space to make Hebrew the official language of Palestine and put forward their recommendation to do so. In 1908 Najib Nissar indicated in his writings about the Zionist movements. Arabs and Palestinians were aware of the Zionist concept right from the beginning and they kept an eye on their movements. In 1914 World War added more fuel to the fire and the area of Occupied Palestine increased further. British settlement in the land of Palestine pushed the people of Palestine to leave and the post-settlement situation was full of conflicts. In 1915 the Memorandum with the name of “The Future Palestine” was the base for the new homeland of Jews in the land of Palestine.

In 1917 the British cabinet approved the establishment of the Jewish state in the land of Palestine. Rothschild convinced the British government to make a clear statement regarding the establishment of the Jewish state who was watching clear opportunities for cash. On December 11, 1917, the British Army led by General Edmund Allenby attacked Jerusalem and occupied the land. One of the members of the army David Ben-Gurion, later on, became the Prime Minister of Israel. 50,000 Jews settled in newly occupied Palestine now called Israel which was approximately 10 % of the population. The conflicts ended in 1918 after the Peace Conference in Paris.

People of Palestine were totally against the capturing of their Holy city and the conflicts were more likely to increase. Israel was limited to the Holy city at this time. The Faisal Bin Hassan agreement with Weizmann acted as approval in the eyes of the historians about the verification of the Jewish homeland in Palestine. This was the rapid start of the expansion of Israel.  In 1919 the Zionist movements speeded up and the information was collected by the Jewish people by keeping an eye on which of the Arabs were ready to sell their land. Jews were strengthening their international alliances. In 1920 Herbert Samuel was appointed as British High Commissioner for Palestine. Herbert Samuel was given the responsibility to make Israel legally visible.
