RE: Clashes After Jews Permitted to Pray At Temple Mount

I'll probably be burned at the stake for this comment.
Neither side (we'll call them Jewish Proponents 'v' Arab Palestinian Proponents") were made such a promise.
◈ Clearly, the Allied Powers at the Paris Peace Conference (1919) made no set promises to either side. For all intent and purposes, the British had tacit approval (that is no allied power would really interfere with the British), from the Council of the League of Nations, to administer the Mandates over Transjordan, Palestine and Iraq, without interference (from the Mediertainian to Persia).
◈ While not totally outside Bri.tish influence, the British recognized the Emirate of Transjordan (the Emerate was awarded to the Hashemites Royal family of the Hejaz) in May 1923; with full independence for Transjordan granted in 1946; → the sovereign of the British Empire recognizing the Emir as a Sovereign of Transjordan (ie King) by treaty.
The importance of these two points cannot be overstated. East of the Jordan River would be considered a political territory under the rule of a dynastic Arabic. That left the Mandate Territory west of the Jordan River under the unspecified disposition of the British Mandate. While the concept of the "Jewish National Home" (JNH) was openly made and directed by Mandate, what constituted a JNH was never defined until the Recommendation (approved) of the UN Special Commission for Palestine were made? This was the basis of the Independence established by the National Council for the Jewish State and the self-determination of their constituents.
That left an undefined reminder of territory that became undedicated even though it was intended to be an Arab State. It was orphaned as it was declined by the Arab Palestinians. That was capitalized on by the Hashemite Kingdom.

2. There seems to be an underlying assumption on your part that all of Palestine is Jewish land,
(COMMENT)It's not an assumption. It's a legal and moral position taken after decades of research.
All of the Western section of the Mandate for Palestine was designated for the self-determination of the Jewish people. (Just as all of the Eastern portions of the Mandate for Palestine was designated for the self-determination of the Arab Palestinian people, and Syria, Iraq, and Lebanon were designated for the self-determination of their respective Arab people.) →
