Özet: Since the invasion of Palestine in the 19th Century, the Palestinian issue preserved its seat at the top of the world agenda. A few groups of persecuted Jews in the 19th century, primarily in Russia, took sanctuary and settled to the Ottoman Empire. They were placed in particular areas in the Ottoman Empire and were given fair treatment. The Ottoman Empire, in contrary with the western countries, is a place where Jews lived in peace without oppression. However, Jews refused to live in the regions where the Ottoman Empire considered fit for them and tried to immigrate and settle in Palestine in various illegal ways and tricks. Hereupon, the Ottoman Emperor, Abdulhamid the 2nd, informed this to the Ottoman governors in Palestine and took some measures to prevent Jews to immigrate to Palestine. In this context, this article will explore those illegal ways and tricks implemented by Jews in the second half of the 19th century with the aim of immigrating to Palestine and settling there. In addition, the measures taken by the Ottoman Empire in order to prevent such activities will be addressed.
