P F Tinmore, et al,
The undeclared territory in 1948 (after the termination of the Mandate) was technically under the administration of the UN Trustee System; NOT Palestinian.
Actually no, that was for political purposes to get the Armistice signed. The Arab League refused to recognize Israel. But it was not "Palestine." If there had been a "Palestine" then there would have been an Armistice with Palestine.
In the announcement for the Successor Government, absent the Israeli Declaration, Palestine was a legal entity formerly under the Mandate for Palestine.

• "After the 15th May, 1948, Palestine will continue to be a legal entity but it will still not be a sovereign state because it will not be immediately self-governing.
However, as this was written before the 15 May Declaration of Independence, it did not discuss independence other than to say: "will not be immediately self-governing."
Most Respectfully,

(COMMENT)The Palestinians claimed independence in Palestine.P F Tinmore, et al,
Yes, now you're close.
(COMMENT)Palestine was recognized by five other states. But, as Montevideo said, recognition is not necessary.
The community will allow the entity to exist in name, but you will notice that the All-Palestine Government was ignored, and many time denied an opportunity to participate on the Question of Palestine.
Eventually, the Egyptian Government dissolved the All-Palestine Government (APG). It never was able to get off the ground.
I noticed that the APG sent several times complained that they were not invited to key meetings.
Most Respectfully,
Rbut you will notice that the All-Palestine Government was ignored,
Probably because they were occupied. A country does not cease to exist just because it is occupied.
But it wasnt a country as the land was already claimed by another nation under existing international laws. The APG tried to ignore those laws because they worked for the Jews and failed. Could I claim your property was mine in the same way the APG did with Israel ?
Foreigners claimed Israel's independence in Palestine. The land was not up for grabs. Even Rocco said that the land was not up for grabs. And, even the UN said that the land was Palestine in 1949 after the Palestinian's declaration.
General Assembly Having considered the item entitled "Question of Palestine" said:1. Acknowledges the proclamation of the State of Palestine by the
Palestine National Council on 15 November 1988;
2. Affirms the need to enable the Palestinian people to exercise their
sovereignty over their territory occupied since 1967;
3. Decides that, effective as of 15 December 1988, the designation
"Palestine" should be used in place of the designation "Palestine Liberation
Organization" in the United Nations system, without prejudice to the observer
status and functions of the Palestine Liberation Organization within the
United Nations system, in conformity with relevant United Nations resolutions
and practice;
