Jewish Agency for Palestine

The Jewish Agency for Palestine was an organization established in the early 20th century to coordinate Jewish immigration and settlement in Palestine, then part of the Ottoman Empire and later the British Mandate. It served as a liaison between Jewish communities and governments, promoting development, immigration, and national aspirations. The Agency played a key role in establishing infrastructure, facilitating aliyah (Jewish immigration), and advocating for Jewish interests, ultimately contributing to the foundation of the State of Israel in 1948. It continues to function as a major organization supporting Jewish communities worldwide and Israel’s development.
