The Establishment of the Jewish Agency and Expansion of the Yishuv |
|
At the end of the 1920s, two rival political movements arose: the Labor movement on the Left, and the Revisionist movement on the Right. The Revisionists, led by Ze'ev Jabotinsky, challenged the leadership and policies of WZO president Dr. Chaim Weizmann. At the Zionist Congresses of 1931 and 1933, they clashed with most of the parties and leaders, and, finally, seceded from the WZO. In 1935 the Revisionists established the New Zionist Organization (NZO). |
