In the early 2000s, Turkish workers from the Republic of Turkey settled in Israel, working predominantly on construction projects.

Regarding people of ethnic Turkish who lived in Palestine prior to the establishment of the State of Israel, see Turks in Palestine.

Diaspora

During and after the 1947–1949 Palestine war, some Turkmen fled the region and settled in Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon.

During the British mandate of Palestine, the Turk tribes like Bani-Saidan and Bani Alaqama lived mostly in the Jezreel Valley region; and, up until the Israeli conquest in 1967, Turkmen tribes lived in the Golan Heights.
