Palestine has an
important place in the region with its religious, political and cultural
meaning, its important geopolitical position in the Eastern Mediterranean and
the importance of the city of Jerusalem for three religions. With the end of
the Second World War and the establishment of the State of Israel, the events
in Palestine became a problem that involved not only the states in the region
but all the major states in the international arena. The fact that this problem
is still not solved despite the involvement of many states is an indication of
the complexity of the Palestinian Question. Although Turkey's foreign policy
focused on the West, with historical, geographical, cultural and economic ties,
Turkey was required to deal with the issues of the Middle East also.
Palestinian question, one of the most important problems in the Middle East has
had a special position for Turkey. Long period of sovereignty of the Ottoman
Empire had in Palestine and the spiritual connection of the Turkish people with
the holy places in Palestine caused Turkey's dealing with question. The aim of
this study is to determine the approach of RPP (Republican People's Party) to
the Palestine issue and to observe the policies and visions of the party for
solving the problem. In this context, face to face interview method, which is
one of the primary data collection methods, has ben used by making interviews
with the Vice Chairman of RPP and a Columnist of Şalom Newspaper. In addition,
secondary literature review has been made on the subject and data has been
gathered.
