The Gates Of Zion by Bodie Thoene

Set amid the upheaval surrounding the birth of the modern Jewish homeland, the novel follows a cast of characters—refugees, idealists, soldiers and secret agents—whose lives collide in a web of romance, danger and moral conflict; as political intrigue, personal sacrifice and crises of faith intensify, each must make heartbreaking choices that reveal the costs and courage demanded by nation-building and the pursuit of justice.
