In a way that caused massive religious tensions. Palestine, Jordan, and Iraq became British Mandates while Syria and Lebanon became French Mandates. Hejaz was given nominal independence (which it lost when the Nejdis invaded in 1922 to create Saudi Arabia). North Yemen was given actual independence, which it maintained until the fusion with South Yemen.

If you are referring exclusively to how the Treaty of Versailles carves up the Ottoman Empire and makes Mandates in several of its former territories, the following is the way in which its territories were divided: Hejaz and Yemen were given independence as new independent countries. (Hejaz was conquered by Nejd - now Saudi Arabia - in 1922.) What are now the countries of Israel, Palestine, Jordan, Iraq, and Kuwait were given to the British to administer as the mandates of Palestine (first two), Transjordan (third), and Iraq (last two). France received the modern day countries of Lebanon and Syria. In the east the Soviet/Turkish border changed slightly to give the Soviet Union more territory (as concerns parts of Georgia).
