Summary/Abstract: The aim of the Zionist Movement was to establish a Jewish homeland in Palestine where they considered it as a land without people for a homeless people. As the desire of the Jews to nationalize in Palestine increased, the resistance of the local people against them increased. In order for a Jewish state to take part in the future of Palestine, a model was needed to govern the relationship between the two communities. Different models were proposed in the context of different forms of Zionism. In this study, Vladimir Ze’ev Jabotinsky’s approach to the problem and his solution proposal are dealt with in line with his Iron Wall Doctrine. This doctrine, after coming to life and getting response from the Jewish radicals in Palestine, continued its effect in the context of Revisionist Zionism. Therefore, it is one of the important grounds for interpreting Israel’s approach to the problem with the Palestinians. The aim of the study is to create an analysis framework by revealing Jabotinsky’s views. But the application and interpretation of this framework to the problem is left to the reader, in terms of the subject and time period which will be addressed by the reader in Israel’s political history. In the study, Jabotinsky’s approach to a Jewish homeland in Palestine, his view of the Arabs and his approach to Jewish military power were used as descriptive titles.
