Answer:

During World War II, the situation for Jews in Israel (then known as Palestine, under British mandate) was complex.

Anti-Semitic violence: Jewish communities in Palestine faced sporadic acts of violence from Palestinian Arabs, including riots, pogroms and attacks on Jewish neighbourhoods. The most notable of these was the Farhud, a pogrom that took place in Baghdad, Iraq in 1941 where hundreds of Jews were killed

Deportation: In 1942, the British authorities in Palestine, under pressure from the Arab Higher Committee, began deporting Jewish refugees from Europe back to the countries from which they had fled. Many of these Jewish refugees were later murdered in the Holocaust.
