montelatici, et al,
I think this is incorrect.
First the Mandate did not take any land.
The Covenant did not prohibit anything the Allied Powers did. But it would be a Mistake to think that the 1948 establishment of Israel was taken under the authority of the mandate.
The implementation of the Mandate was at the direction of the League of Nations to which the Covenant derives it authority. And the authors may interpret the intent differently form you.
Most Respectfully,
