During World War I, Zionist leaders, particularly Chaim Weizmann, sought to gain British support for the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. They leveraged the geopolitical situation by emphasizing the potential for Jewish support to aid the Allied war effort, including contributions to munitions production. This advocacy culminated in the Balfour Declaration of 1917, wherein the British government expressed support for a "national home for the Jewish people" in Palestine, signaling a significant shift in British policy towards the Zionist movement.

No. There was no Israel during World War I.However, a number of wealthy Britons were Zionists (some desiring to live in Palestine and others who were only sympathetic to those desires). In order to court them and their funding, the British espoused Zionist aims in the Balfour Declaration of 1917.
