This study analyses in detail the formation process of the British presence in the Palestinian territories of the Ottoman Empire, which intensified from the first quarter of the 19th century onwards. The study also touches upon how the process of the declaration of the Balfor Declaration of 1917, which played a major role in the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, was reached. The main topics of this article are the religious and cultural investments, the protection of Ottoman minorities, the restoration of the Jews, i.e. the conversion of Jews to Protestantism and their return to Palestine, and the colonisation movements that led to the increase in the British influence in Palestine.

Filistin’de İngiliz Varlığının Oluşumu, 1838- 1882: Balfour Politikasının Kökenleri

Öz

Bu çalışmada Osmanlı İmparatorluğunun Filistin topraklarında 19. yüzyılın ilk çeyreğinden itibaren yoğun bir şekilde kendini gösteren İngiliz varlığının oluşum süreci ayrıntılı bir şekilde incelenmektedir. Çalışmada ayrıca 1948 yılında kurulan İsrail devletinin kuruluşunda büyük rol oynayan 1917 Balfor Deklerasyonu’nun da ilan edilme sürecine nasıl gelindiği konusuna da değinilmektedir. İngilizlerin Filistin’deki nüfuzlarının artmasına neden olan başta dini ve kültürel yatırımları olmak üzere Osmanlı azınlıklarının korunması ve Yahudilerin restorasyonu yani Protestanlığa kazandırılarak Filistin’e dönmelerini sağlamak, kolonizasyon hareketleri bu makalenin ana başlıklarını oluşturmaktadır.
