However, his first contribution after arrival was establishing, together with Jabotinsky, the Jewish self-defense militia, the Haganah.

The underground Jewish militias, the Haganah, formed an alliance called the Jewish Resistance Movement with the Etzel and Stern Gang to fight the British.

At that time, the British also supported the creation and the training of Palmach, as a unit that could withstand a German offensive in the area, with the consent of Yishuv which saw an opportunity to get trained units and soldiers for the planned Jewish state and during 1944-1945, the most mainstream Jewish para-military organization, Haganah, cooperated with the British authorities against the Lehi and Etzel.

This led to conflict with Ze ' ev Jabotinsky who opposed partition and as a result Jabotinsky's supporters split with the Haganah and abandoned Havlagah.

In 1946, Ben-Gurion agreed that the Haganah could cooperate with Menachem Begin's Irgun in fighting the British, who continued to restrict Jewish immigration.

After the beginning of World War II, the Haganah and Irgun suspended their activity against the British in support of their war against Nazi Germany.

The Haganah carried out violent attacks in Palestine, such as the liberation of interned immigrants from the Atlit camp, the bombing of the country's railroad network, sabotage raids on radar installations and bases of the British Palestine police.

The attack, which initially had the approval of the Haganah ( the principal Jewish paramilitary group in Palestine ) and was conceived of as a response to Operation Agatha ( in which widespread raids, including one on the Jewish Agency, had been carried out ), was the deadliest directed at the British during the Mandate era ( 1920 – 1948 ).

The intention was to fire them on the King's birthday, but the Haganah learned about the plan and warned the British through Teddy Kollek of the Jewish Agency.
