The key here is how "YOU" define "Palestine." But certainly, prior to the Mandate termination, the entirety of the territory was a "Legal Entity" known as the Government of Palestine.
After May 1948, there was within the UN Trusteeship territory, the new sovereign State of Israel. The entirety of the West Bank and Occupied Jerusalem went under a transformation, and in April 1950, that portion of the former Mandate Territory (transferred to the UN Trustee System), was absorbed by Jordan. And that remained so until July 1988, when the Jordanian relinquished the sovereignty and cut all political ties with the portion formally annexed by Jordan.
That same territory then made terra nullius (a territory belonging to no-oneāat the time of the act alleged to constitute the āoccupationā) by the unilateral withdrawal of all claims to the territory and thus, into the existing hands of the Israelis.
Without regard to any argument that may be initiated over the "terra nullius" status, there was no remaining territory over which the Arab Palestinian (a people without a formed government) when in NOV 1988, the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), the sole legitimate representative of the Arab Palestinians in any Palestinian territory that is liberated, (as of 1974) had not liberated any territory. In fact, the question of - "liberation" - and - "what needs to be liberated" - becomes a moot point with the mutually agreed upon creations of Areas "A" - "B" - and "C"... In fact, the only sure territory that could be reasonably argued as sovereign Arab Palestinian is Area "A"...
In December 2012, the UN A/RES/67/19 accorded "to Palestine "non-member observer State status" in the United Nations, without prejudice to the acquired rights, privileges, and role of the Palestine Liberation Organization in the United Nations as the representative of the Palestinian people, in accordance with the relevant resolutions and practice."
Q: What does "non-member observer State status" actually mean, and how does it work with the current situation in the Middle East, west of the Jordan River?
Different factions within the Arab Palestinian people's regime have different takes on where the A/RES/67/19 State of Palestine is actually located. "Thus, the principle of sovereignty in general, and that of territorial sovereignty in particular, remains of necessity the āpoint of departure in settling most questions that concern international relation.ā Maybe Area "A" only fits that description. The Israeli War for Independence (technically) extended into 1995 when the Jordanians entered into a peace arrangement.
One thing is reasonably certain. No right grants the Arab Palestinian the power to compel Israel to surrender any territory the Israelis now hold under the principle of territorial sovereignty.
Most Respectfully,
