The Ottomans did not recognize the concept of Palestine as any sort of administrative term. The area was administrated as three separate governates/provinces: the Wilayet of Damascus (which controlled much of what is now southwest Syria, Jordan, and southern Israel), the Wilayet of Beirut (which controlled much of Lebanon and northern Israel), and the Mutasarrifate of Jerusalem (which controlled the central area of Israel and the Palestinian Territories).

∙ 11y agoNo. The Ottomans did not recognize a special Jewish right to the region of Palestine, nor did they recognize the concept of Palestine as any sort of administrative term. The area was administrated as three separate governates/provinces: the Wilayet of Damascus (which controlled much of what is now southwest Syria, Jordan, and southern Israel), the Wilayet of Beirut (which controlled much of Lebanon and northern Israel), and the Mutasaffirat of Jerusalem (which controlled the central area of Israel and the Palestinian Territories).
There was a relatively larger Jewish presence in Palestine during the Ottoman Period and some Jewish Zionists bought Ottoman holdings in the Palestine region. (Most of the land was owned by Ottoman nobility who had little need for it.) However, massive Jewish Immigration did not occur under the Ottomans nor was there any Ottoman interest in creating a Jewish province or state in that region.

∙ 10y agoThe Ottoman Empire ruled the region of Palestine in three distinct provinces: the Wilayat of Beirut in the north (which extends into much of Lebanon), the Mutasaffirat of Jerusalem (which is bunched in the center), and the Wilayat of Damascus in the south (which extends into modern Jordan and Syria.
There was no concept in the Ottoman Empire of a unified Palestine as Palestinian activists conceive of it today.

What type of government was used in palestine in jesus' time?
The Roman Empire ruled Palestine, but the Romans allowed the Jewish priests to take care of the relgous matters of the Jews.
Did the Israelis defeat the Ottoman Empire?
Answer 1No. technically, Israelis didn't exist before 1948. (And prior to the 1880's, there were very few Jews living in the region.)Answer 2The militias that would eventually form the Israeli Army, especially the Lehi and the Haganah were formed by British Command in Ottoman Palestine (specifically the Mutasafirat of Jerusalem) to oppose the Ottomans in World War I. Therefore, the forerunners of Israel were partially responsible for the fall of the Ottoman Empire. In such Jewish Battalions, the future Jewish heroes of the British Mandate Period such as Jabotinsky and Trumpeldor came to the fore. However, strictly speaking, these people were not Israelis and were identified as Palestinians at the time. (The distinction that Jews living in British Palestine were not Palestinians comes out of Israeli independence.)

What role did the ottoman empire play in the origins of the Arab-israeli conflict?
The Ottoman Empire cannot in all fairness be blamed for any role in the origins of the Arab-Israeli conflict. It was master of Palestine during the many centuries that the area was a place where the Arab majority and the small Jewish minority lived peacefully together.The single dominant party to play a role in the origins of the Israeli-Arab conflic was Great Britain. After the British 'Balfour Declaration' of 1917 stating that a 'home' should be established for Jews in Palestine, the Ottoman Empire only commented that there would be legislation by which "all justifiable wishes of the Jews in Palestine would be able to find their fulfilment".The Jewish claim on a Jewish State in Palestine mostly emerged ten to fifteen years after the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire in 1922, namely during the period when Palestine was a British protectorate. The reason: the British had made the promise, and now they were in a position to make good on their promise. The Arabs with some justification saw this as a breach by the British of earlier agreements made with them. Also, it was the Zionist Jews who decided that the 'home' promised in the Balfour Declaration should be read as 'State', and Great Britain in the end decided to go along with that.Great Britain never put in a serious effort to convince the Arab world to accept the Jewish State in any size or form. When the State of Israel came into being in 1948, the Arab nations were therefore still completely hostile to the idea. And there are the origins of the Israeli-Arab conflict that endures to this day
How did modern Israel come into being?
The political movement to reestablish a Jewish state in Palestine, a province of the Ottoman Empire, began with the Zionist movement led by Theodor Herzl in 1897. Britain gained control of the Palestine Mandate following World War 1. In 1917 British Foreign Secretary Balfour issued the Balfour Declaration, calling for the establishment of a Jewish home in Palestine. Jewish immigration which began in 1882 continued although it was restricted by the British in the 1930s. Jewish immigration to Palestine resumed in large numbers after the Holocaust in 1945. In 1947, the British gave control of 78% of the Palestine Mandate to the Arab Hashemite tribe. The UN issued a partition plan for the remaining 22% to be divided into Jewish and Arab states. The Jews accepted the plan, but it was rejected by Arab leaders. Israel declared independence in 1948. It was attacked by Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and Iraq, but prevailed in 1949. Between 1948 - 1950, 800,000 to a million Jews were expelled or forced from their homes by Arab governments and anti-Jewish riots. Most of them were resettled in Israel.
Which nation allowed many Jews to relocate to palestine?
From 1492 to World War I, the Ottoman Empire allowed large numbers of Jewish refugees to settle in Palestine as well as other Ottoman lands. Prior to the 20th Century, Jewish settlement was seen as an economic development tool. After World War I, under British rule, while the pressure from refugees increased, British mandate Palestine enacted more and more restrictions on refugee resettlement.
Which empire renamed judaea palestine as a kind of punishment after crushing a Jewish revolt?
The Roman empire.
What did the Jews have to with World War 1?
Jews had nothing terribly important to do with World War I. The war was not fought about Jews (even though Jews were part of every involved army from a major power other than the Ottoman Empire). Jews often fought valiantly for their homelands, as diverse as American Jews fighting for the US and German Jews fighting for the German Empire or Second Reich. The only "Jewish" part of the war was the presence of Jewish militias in Ottoman Palestine who assisted the British in liberating that area from Ottoman control.
Who populated the Ottoman Empire?
The Ottoman Empire was an incredibly diverse empire, which had large Turkish, Arab, Jewish, Armenian, Azeri, Georgian, Greek, Macedonian, Romanian, Berber, Hungarian, Yugoslavs, and Bulgars (not necessarily in the order of Population).

What were some industries of some people of palestine?

Why did the Jews migrate to Palestine?
After the Romans expelled the Jews from Judea and renamed it Palestine, a Jewish presence continued in outlying places like Hebron, Tiberias and Safed. This was a very small presence, but when Byzantine Palestine fell to Arab armies in the year 638, the new Muslim rulers allowed Jewish settlement. The Crusaders slaughtered and expelled the Jewish and Muslim communities in 1099. In 1187, Saladin drove out the Crusaders and Jews were again welcome. Jewish settlements in Jerusalem, in particular, were not terribly prosperous, but when the Jews of Spain were expelled in 1492, many came to Palestine (others dispersed across North Africa and up the Adriatic coast to Venice, as well as Sicily and Italy). For many years, the Ottoman Empire encouraged Jewish settlement as an economic development tool. In late Ottoman times, however, the flood of refugees from Russian persecution led the Ottoman Empire to worry about possible Jewish majorities in some towns. By this point, the Ottoman Empire was essentially a Turkish nation and not the pan-Islamic center it had aspired to, and the response to Jewish settlement was a program of moving Turkish settlers into the land. Combined pressure from Jews and Turks led to the formation of resistance organizations like the Islamic Brotherhood. As World War I devastated central Europe, the pressure of Jewish refugees continued to mount, and resistance to refugee resettlement mounted in response -- to see why, look at the response of modern communities that face waves of refugees; it doesn't matter where they come from. In the case of Jewish refugees in Palestine, the global Jewish community helped by financing the purchase of property for the refugees. Things can get ugly, and they did. World War II triggered another wave of refugees, and despite the fact that refugees were settling on land they bought, tensions rose, the British left, and there was the 1948 war. One consequence of this and the fall of the French North African empire was the expulsion of the Jewish populations of much of the Arab world, creating yet another wave of refugees into the new state of Israel. As with every previous wave, not all went to Israel/Palestine. France and the United States welcomed many, and some moved to many other places.
