Between 1929 and 1938, 250,000 Jews arrived in Palestine ([[Fifth Aliyah]]).<ref>{{cite book |last=Thatcher |first=Bruce D. |title=Adamant Aggressors: How to Recognize and Deal with Them |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=77aDnC12IDEC&dq=fifth+aliyah+250,000+Jews&pg=PA203 |publisher=Xlibris |year=2011 |page=203 |isbn=9781462891955 }}</ref> In 1933, the Jewish Agency and the Nazis negotiated the [[Ha'avara Agreement]] (transfer agreement), under which 50,000 German Jews would be transferred to Palestine. The Jews' possessions were confiscated and in return the Nazis allowed the Ha'avara organization to purchase 14 million pounds worth of German goods for export to Palestine and use it to compensate the immigrants. Although many Jews wanted to leave Nazi Germany, the Nazis prevented Jews from taking any money and restricted them to two suitcases so few could pay the British entry tax and many were afraid to leave.{{citation needed|date=November 2023}} The agreement was controversial and the Labour Zionist leader who negotiated the agreement, [[Haim Arlosoroff]], was assassinated in Tel Aviv in 1933. The assassination was used by the British to create tension between the Zionist left and the Zionist right.{{citation needed|date=November 2023}} Arlosoroff had been the boyfriend of [[Magda Goebbels|Magda Ritschel]] some years before she married [[Joseph Goebbels]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.timeshighereducation.com/books/reich-mother-loved-to-death/171407.article|title=Reich mother loved to death|work=[[Times Higher Education]]|date=6 September 2002|access-date=5 June 2016|last=Pine|first=Lisa|location=London|archive-date=14 September 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160914104348/https://www.timeshighereducation.com/books/reich-mother-loved-to-death/171407.article|url-status=live}}</ref> There has been speculation that he was assassinated by the Nazis to hide the connection but there is no evidence for it.<ref>{{cite book|title=Qui a tué Arlozoroff ?|first=Tobie|last=Nathan|date=12 May 2010|publisher=Grasset}}</ref>

Between 1933 and 1936, 174,000 arrived despite the large sums the British demanded for immigration permits: Jews had to prove they had 1,000 pounds for families with capital ({{Inflation|UK|1000|1936|fmt=eq|cursign=£}}), 500 pounds if they had a profession and 250 pounds if they were skilled labourers.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Peel Commission Full Report (1937) - English |url=https://ecf.org.il/media_items/290 |access-date=2023-01-24 |website=ecf.org.il |language=en}}</ref>{{better source needed|date=April 2023}}
