تأثير الرابطة العائلية العابرة للقومية في العلاقات الدولية : مستوطنة سيناء نموذجا

الملخص EN

The Sinai settlement project 1902-1903 represented a milestone in the Zionist movement attempts of building a national home for the Jewish people in Palestine.

The Zionist leaders proposed this project after their direct negotiations with the Ottoman Empire have failed, but they were unable to influence the British government, which was then occupying Egypt, to grant them land in Sinai.

Then came the massacres against the Jews in western Tsarist Russia in 1903, which led to waves of immigration to the West.

It was then that the Zionist leaders resorted to seek help from the Rothschild family.

With the aid of the Rothschilds, the Zionist project succeeded in overcoming the obstacles in front of it, a testament to the influential role played by some transnational family ties in international relations.
