Answer: The Jewish and Arabian claims on the territory.
Explanation: Zionism was primarily a result of the Jewish aspiration for the re-establishment of the Jewish state. Jews claim to have their right over the territory of Israel as their ancient homeland. On the other hand, the Arabs also claim that Palestine is their territory. The result is that on the basis of the Zionist movement and political action, the state of Israel was established in 1948, also under the UN resolution, in the Palestinian territory where the Arabs were already settled, and when the state of Israel was formed, the Jews returned massively after 2000 years of exile , and found the Arabs of course. Each of the parties had its claims over that territory, and so there were tensions. Zionism, also today has the function of protecting the Jews in the present state of Israel precisely because of these tensions.
