This thesis analyzes the characteristics of the Ottoman policy towards Jewish immigration and settlement in Palestine during the period between 1882 and 1920. When the waves of the Jewish immigration to the Ottoman Palestine started in 1882, the Ottoman government put restrictions on it as some of the Jewish immigrants were motivated by Zionist idea and had political aims in Palestine. However, despite the Ottoman restrictions, a Zionist presence emerged in Palestine. In this respect, this research undertakes to examine the factors that prevented the Ottomans from pursuing a restrictive policy towards Zionist movement. The aim of this research is to indicate that the popular beliefs concerning the Ottoman policy towards Zionism at present are mistaken and the issue is more complex. This thesis will also seek to answer the questions such as how the foreign Jews were able to go and settle in the Ottoman Palestine while questioning the capability of the Ottoman system to manage the control of its regulations. In this framework, the interest of the Ottoman leaders in the Zionist movement in Palestine will also be questioned.

Moreover, it argues that the Ottoman Empire contributed to the constr...
