Abstract :Although other schemes were also formulated and pressed for, Zıonist plans for settlement had from the start mainly coııcentrated on Palestine. Zionist colonization plans involving terrıtorıes in America and Africa are widely known,1 but these were regarded as temporary solutions "until Turkey is dissolved" and Palestine is made available for Jewısh colonization.2 Cyprus, owing to its geographical location, has been either directly or indirectly involved within Zionist schemes concerning Palestine. With this article, it is aimed at raising this point, mainly depending on British documents.
