Zionist Organization
The Zionist Organization was founded at the initiative of Theodore Herzl at the First Zionist Congress which took place in august 1897 in Basel, Switzerland. When it was founded, the goals of the Zionist movement were stated in a resolution that came of that Congress and came to be known as the Basel Program. Zionism aims at establishing for the Jewish people a legally assured home in Eretz Yisrael.
