Maybe some people had those wishes but the mandate said otherwise. There was no Jewish state created.
After the League of Nations, after the British Palestine Mandate, and after UN resolution 181, there still was no Jewish state.
Not just "some people": Three key figures directly involved with the League of Nations, which ratified the Palestine Mandate, and the British Mandate: President Woodrow Wilson, British Prime Minister David Lloyd George and Winston Churchill.
All concurred the objective of the Palestine Mandate was the establishment of a Jewish State.
The Palestine Mandate clearly establishes the foundation for a "self-governing" Jewish State which cannot be placed under the power of a foreign government [Jewish National Home]...
Whereas recognition has thereby been given to the historical connection of the Jewish people with Palestine and to the grounds for reconstituting their national home in that country
The Mandatory shall be responsible for placing the country under such political, administrative and economic conditions as will secure the establishment of the Jewish national home, as laid down in the preamble, and the development of self-governing institutions
An appropriate Jewish agency shall be recognised as a public body for the purpose of advising and co-operating with the Administration of Palestine in such economic, social and other matters as may affect the establishment of the Jewish national home and the interests of the Jewish population in Palestine, and, subject always to the control of the Administration to assist and take part in the development of the country.
The Zionist organization, so long as its organization and constitution are in the opinion of the Mandatory appropriate, shall be recognised as such agency. It shall take steps in consultation with His Britannic Majesty's Government to secure the co-operation of all Jews who are willing to assist in the establishment of the Jewish national home.
The Mandatory shall be responsible for seeing that no Palestine territory shall be ceded or leased to, or in any way placed under the control of the Government of any foreign Power
