Best Answer

Britain ruled Palestine. They called it the Palestine Mandate. Britain had agreed to hand Palestine over to Jews, mainly from Europe, but some Jewish terrorists bombed the King David Hotel and some other places to speed up the process. Britain withdrew, and the Jews took Palestine and began calling it Israel.

Great Britain controlled the Mandate for Palestine but made no efforts to set up a clear trajectory for the independence of the region. Therefore, both Jews and Arabs fought against one another and the British to gain a larger stake in the future development of the land. This fighting escalated to the current day where it is now called the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict.

What is British Israel?

There is no such designation. Some people call the "British Mandate of Palestine" as "British Israel" in shorthand, but this is an incorrect designation. The British Mandate of Palestine occupied all of the territory included in 1949 Israel, the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, and a small portion of 1949 Syria on the east bank of the Sea of Galilee. It was a British occupied territory from 1922-1948.
