History of the occupation of Palestine Before 1897

History of the occupation of Palestine Before 1897:

As Britain sought domination of Arab regions around the Suez Canal, it occupied Egypt and encouraged the Jews to repeat their baseless claim on their right to return to the "false" Mount Zion in al-Quds and establish their government in Palestine.

The British government encouraged Theodor Herzl (Austrian Jewish journalist) to invite Jews around the world on behalf of London to establish a Zionist state in Palestine and hold the first Congress of Zionism in Basel in which hundreds of Jewish figures took part.

After the Basel conference in 1897, the second turning point in the occupation of Palestine was the Balfour Declaration. 

In 1917, the British Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour sent a 67-word letter to Zionist figure Lord Rothschild, a leader of the British Jewish community, in which he announced his government's support for the establishment of a home for the Jewish people in Palestine.

The beginning of the Palestinian resistance

The Palestinian resistance coincided with the beginnings of the Jewish immigration to Palestine at the end of the nineteenth century, and the resistance escalated with the increase in immigration, then turned into political and military action, revolutions and demonstrations with the imposition of the British mandate. the comprehensive resistance continued after the establishment of the “Israel”, and it has not stopped yet.

Reasons for European countries assisting the Jews in the conquesting Palestine:

1. Getting rid of the evils of the Jews in Europe.

2. Implanting a Jewish state in the Islamic world in order to weaken it and strike Muslims by Jews.

3. Engaging Muslim Mujahideen in the fight against the Jews in Palestine so that they can occupy the Islamic world.

In August 1929, Al-Quds City was rocked by the first large-scale attack by the Palestinians on the Jews. In these protests, 133 Jews were killed and 116 Palestinians were martyred. The roots of the violence go back to Arab fears about the goals of the Zionist movement, which aims to establish a national home for the Jews in Palestine.

On 29 November 1947, the United Nations General Assembly, adopted resolution 181 (II), about Partition of Palestine with Economic Unity as proposed by the majority in the Special Committee on Palestine, for the termination of the Mandate, the progressive withdrawal of British armed forces and the delineation of boundaries between the two States and Jerusalem.

On May 14, 1948, Britain ended its mandate over Palestine and withdrew its forces. On the same day, the Jewish Agency announced the establishment of the state of "Israel" in the areas stipulated in the UN partition resolution. Immediately violent fighting broke out between Jewish and Arab groups, and the next day the neighboring Arab armies entered Palestine to help the Palestinian Arabs.

The Six-Day War

It was fought between 5 and 10 June 1967 by Israel and the neighboring states of Jordan, Syria, and Egypt. In this war, "Israel" occupied part of several Arab countries territory by defeating their 

After the 1967 war, there were no specific changes in the geography of the Zionist occupation, but the developments were diverted to another direction, which was the signing of several peace agreements with the Zionist occupiers, including the Camp David, Oslo, Wadi Arabah, and so on.
