Summary
This book offers an in-depth exploration of the early history of Palestine, providing a rigorous analysis of pivotal events and underlying dynamics. The study begins with examining the emergence of Zionist movements and their proposals, the period of Ottoman governance… in the Levant, and the influence of Western imperialism, concluding with the critical era surrounding the Second World War, specifically from 1939 to 1948. The following four chapters adopt a chronological and analytical approach to address topics of lasting significance. These chapters critically examine the development of ideological currents originating from early Zionist initiatives, the progression of Jewish settlement projects in Palestine from 1891 to 1917, and their contemporary relevance. Furthermore, they investigate the international political responses to the Palestine issue during the First and Second World Wars, with particular emphasis on the interactions between the Zionist movement and Western imperialism. In the final section, the book scrutinizes the foundational principles of the Zionist movement and the challenges encountered by the Arab population during the interwar period, offering valuable insights into the complex socio-political realities of the time.
