England had decided to keep that part of the Mandate after giving 78% of the Mandate to the Hashemites who were not Jewish.
The British turned on the Jews by expelling them from Gaza in 1920, Hebron in 1929, allowing the Jews to be ethnically cleansed from TransJordan in 1925, and being right there with the Hashemites when they invaded Israel in May of 1948 and helped the Hashemite take all of Judea and Samaria and the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem and ethnically cleanse the Jewish population from those areas as well.
The Mandate for Palestine was not supposed to be a British colonial enterprise, but that is exactly what it became from 1920 on, in the mind of the British government, especially as they had lost India.
Bernadotte was murdered by extremists. Every war has its extremists. It was a war, and the British were mainly on the side of the Arabs.
Below is Bernadotte's plan which the Arabs did not accept, and the Jews could not accept:
------------------
June 11, Bernadotte succeeded in arranging a 30-day cease-fire. After visiting
Cairo,
Beirut, Amman and
Tel Aviv, he came to the conclusion that the
UN partition plan was an “unfortunate” resolution and proposed
his own plan to unite the two feuding peoples. Instead of establishing individual states, he suggested that Arabs and Jews form a “union” consisting of a small Jewish entity and an enlarged Transjordan.
Haifa and Lydda (Lod) airport would become free zones. Israel would receive the Western Galilee and unlimited immigration for two years, after which the
UN would take control of the issue. Between 250,000 and 300,000 Arab refugees would be permitted to return to Arab territory with compensation and Transjordan would control the Negev and, despite Israeli claims,
Jerusalem.
LEHI assassinated UN peace mediator Folke Bernadotte because of his efforts to force Israel to give up territory it captured after the Arabs invaded.

1) The British get the Mandates for Iraq and Palestine, but it is only the Mandate for Palestine they did not work on implementing, as it was for the Jewish People.
2) While administering the Mandate for Iraq, the British allowed an Arab riot to take place in June of 1941 against Iraqi Jews. Why?
----------------------
It comes as no surprise, then, that in his memoirs the mufti blamed the Iraqi Jews for the failure of the pro-Nazi “revolution” (which in turn forced him to flee to Tehran, whence he came to Berlin where he spent the rest of the war years), thus implicitly justifying the Farhoud. As he wrote:
Seventy-six years after the mass massacre of the Baghdad Jews, in which the then-leader of the Palestinian Arabs, Hajj Amin Husseini, was deeply involved, his heirs to the Palestinian leadership still

The British did nothing to stop what happened to the Jews of Iraq. Why?
There is a pattern here.
Mandate for Palestine = a Jewish State = not important = We can do whatever we want and take as much as we want
Mandate for Iraq = Jews are attacked by Arabs via the previous Grand Mufti of Jerusalem in 1941 = British inertia, nothing done.

"To Britain's shame, the army was stood down," says historian Tony Rocca, co-author with Farhud survivor Violette Samash of the book, Memories of Eden."
"Sir Kinahan Cornwallis, Britain's ambassador in Baghdad, for reasons of his own, held our forces at bay in direct insubordination to express orders from Winston Churchill that they should take the city and secure its safety. Instead, Sir Kinahan went back to his residence had a candlelight dinner and played a game of bridge."
On 1 June 1941, a Nazi-inspired pogrom erupted in Baghdad. Jewish children who witnessed the bloodshed recall the events 70 years later

Anti-Jews British. Nothing new.
The British, always colonizing, always shutting their eyes when it comes to Jews being attacked.
