In the British Mandate of Palestine.
The goal of Zionism is for Jews to live in our ancestral homeland in peace. There is no plan to touch the Dome on the Rock nor to rebuild the Temple in the Zionist mandate.
This is a very complex question. But basically Israel was established in 1948, prior to this it was Palestine. The British Mandate in Palestine along with the Balfour Declaration gave the "right" for the Jewish people of a "homeland" in Palestine. Also during the late 19th century the Zionist Movement had played it's part in this. This is the root to the hostilities towards Israel as this country has been established at the expense of another people and their homeland.
Answer 1Israel was created where Palestine used to be.Answer 2In 1917, Lord Balfour described the future British Mandate for Palestine as a possible Jewish National Homeland.
The state of Israel originated in the historical region of Palestine, which is located in the eastern Mediterranean. The establishment of Israel was formalized on May 14, 1948, following the end of the British Mandate for Palestine and the United Nations' plan to partition the territory into separate Jewish and Arab states. This move was part of a broader Zionist movement aimed at creating a national homeland for the Jewish people, particularly in response to centuries of persecution. The declaration of independence was met with immediate conflict with neighboring Arab states, leading to the 1948 Arab-Israeli War.
Israel is considered the national homeland for the Jewish people and inherited this title from the Mandate for Palestine (which stated in Article 6 that the land was a Jewish National Homeland).
It was never Britain's decision to create a Jewish homeland in the territory referred to as Palestine. The League of Nations, the precursor to the United Nations, created the mandate and gave it to Britain to administer. Britain then violated its mandate by giving 80% of the land set out to be the Jewish homeland to the Arabs.
The British didn't promise a homeland to the Jews. The League of Nations designated the Palestine territories of the Turkish Empire as the land for the Jewish homeland in 1922. This was after the Balfour declaration supporting this, the declaration was written in 1917. The British were given a mandate by the League to administer the territory. Please see the related link for the League of Nations mandate.
Zionism, a nationalist movement advocating for the establishment of a Jewish homeland, played a crucial role in the formation of the state of Israel. Founded in the late 19th century, the movement gained momentum in response to widespread anti-Semitism and the desire for self-determination among Jews. The Balfour Declaration of 1917 and subsequent international support, particularly after World War II, helped legitimize Jewish claims to land in Palestine. Ultimately, Zionist aspirations culminated in the declaration of the state of Israel in 1948, following the end of British Mandate rule.
The State of Israel (×ž×“×™× ×ª ישראל)
The Balfour Declaration of November 1917 promised to establish a Jewish home (not homeland) in Palestine.
They are seeking a home in the territory that once constituted the Mandate of Palestine and is currently controlled by the State of Israel.
Israel was created for the Jews so they could have a homeland after the Holocaust. Palestine was under mandate by the British who encouraged the creation of the homeland to be carved out of Palestinian land. This area had been occupied by the Jews in ancient times.
