Abstract

ABSTRACT The conflict between Palestine and Israel is frequently discussed in contemporary discourse, influenced by both historical and theological factors within Judaism. In Jewish belief, Palestine is regarded as the "Promised Land" by God, forming the basis for their territorial claim. Some sources also indicate that Jewish efforts to destroy the Al-Aqsa Mosque aim to rebuild the Holy Temple that once stood in Jerusalem. The core of these actions is preparation for the arrival of the Messiah. Therefore, what is the concept of the Messiah and its connection to the conflict in Palestine? This study aims to provide a clearer understanding of the Messiah in Jewish belief. It also seeks to explore the connection between one of the core beliefs in Judaism and various significant historical events, particularly the ongoing conflict in Palestine. This study employs a qualitative research methodology, utilizing library research as its primary data source. The author applies textual and librarical/kontekstual analysis methods to process the data. Additionally, a descriptive-analytical method is employed for data presentation. Furthermore, a theological approach is utilized to comprehend Jewish beliefs and to explore the relationship between the concept of the Messiah and the occupation of Israel in Palestine. This study concludes with three key points. First, the Jewish concept of the Messiah refers to a human figure descended from King David, who will save and lead the Jewish people into an era of justice and prosperity. One of the Messiah’s missions is to gather the Jewish diaspora and return them to Palestine. Second, the belief in the coming of the Messiah has influenced major historical events, such as the Balfour Declaration issued by Britain, which supported the establishment of the state of Israel in Palestine. Third, the relationship between the Israel-Palestine conflict and the founding of Israel is tied to Jewish efforts to expel the Arab Palestinian population. It is believed that once all Jews have gathered in Palestine and established their own state, the arrival of the Messiah will be imminent. The author hopes that future researchers will use this study as a reference for further research to complement current findings. Additionally, the author encourages future scholars to include more concrete sources to strengthen research outcomes.
