Y'all keep bringing up the Mandate like it meant something. The Allied Powers decided not to annex the new states that were broken off of the defunct Ottoman empire. The land was transferred to Palestine. Former Ottoman subjects became Palestinian nationals and citizens of Palestine.And you totally omit the existence of the Mandate for Palestine during that time and why the British chose the word Palestine and not Israel.
The Mandate had no land, no territory, and no sovereignty. It had no authority to change that status.
