No. Ironically, Israel did as part of the Oslo Accords.
The Gaza Strip was occupied by the British without distinction from what would be the neighboring Israeli regions. The Gaza Strip was then Occupied by an Egyptian puppet government from 1948-1959* and then Occupied by Egypt directly from 1959-1967. From 1967-1993, Israel had a direct Occupation of the territory, but in 1993, Israel ceded most of the Gaza Strip to the Palestinian Authority. Israel ceded the rest in 2005. This was the first time that Palestinians had self-rule in the Gaza Strip since the development of the Levantine Arab ethnicity (of which Palestinian is a more recent term referring to those Levantine Arabs from Israel or Palestine).
It is worth noting that the Gaza Strip is entirely within the land that would have been allocated to the Arab State according to UNGA Resolution 181 (II), commonly called the "Partition Plan".
*Israel occupied the Gaza Strip and the Sinai Peninsula from October 1956-March 1957 as a result of the Arab-Israeli War of 1956. However, the brevity of the period prevented an established Occupation.

Why is Palestine not a country?
The term "Palestine" was coined by the British to refer to an area of land administered by the empire following World War I. Thus, both Arabs and Jews living within this area were referred to as Palestinians. The British followed up on their promise (made during World War I) to the Hashemite leadership in Arabia to give them a country by splitting the Mandate of Palestine in 1922 into the Mandate of Palestine and the Mandate of Transjordan. Some people claim that this subdivision, which represented a 25-75% split in territory created the Arab State necessary by the Balfour Declaration. (Transjordan became the modern Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.) Popular opinion today and at the time proves that this was not the case. British authorities governed the Mandate of Palestine based more on the desires of the Arab majority than the increasing Jewish minority. Land purchases became harder for Jews to make, Jewish immigrants were detained at Cyprus or barred entry, and the British still articulated that the territory of this second-smaller Mandate of Palestine would result in a Jewish and an Arab State. The British ceded the problem to the United Nations in 1947 which resulted in the UN Partition Plan. This plan (contrary to those who see Jordan as the Palestinian State) allocated half of the settled territory (the Jewish State had more land, but much of it was unsettled desert) to an Arab State. After the UN Vote, both the Arabs and the Jews had a right to declare a state pursuant to the agreement. The Jews followed through on this, declaring a State in 1948 and stopped calling themselves Palestinians, favoring the term Israelis. The Arabs remained hostile to this concession and refused to give it legitimacy by also declaring a State and continued calling themselves Palestinians. This is the rub. Since Palestine did not officially declare its statehood alongside of Israel, some claim that it is not a country. For many years (from 1948-1993) there was no recognition of a Palestinian government by any country that recognized Israel. However, the Oslo Accords and Camp David Summit created the Palestinian Authority which serves as the current Palestinian government. The PA does not have UN membership for political reasons (similar to Taiwan) as opposed to issues based on sovereignty.
What year did the Israelis withdraw from the West Bank and the Gaza Strip and give limited control to the Palestinians?
The British administered the West Bank and the Gaza Strip as non-unique parts of the British Mandate of Palestine. These territories were created by the 1949 ceasefires of the Egyptian army in Gaza, of the Jordanian army in Judea (the southern lobe of the West Bank), and of the Iraqi army in Samaria (the northern lobe of the West Bank). Initially, each of the these three armies imposed martial law on the regions that they conquered.West Bank Under Jordanian ControlAfter a few months, the Iraqis found that maintaining such a long-distance colonization was not worth it to them and they ceded their territory to Jordan. Jordan then annexed the whole West Bank on April 24, 1950 in a move that was condemned internationally (save for Great Britain, Iraq, and Pakistan which approved the act). All West Bank Palestinians became Jordanian citizens. However, Jordan made no overt acts to open up the refugee camps and fully integrate the Palestinian Jordanian refugees into Jordanian society, making the refugees reliant on UNRWA for assistance. Most Palestinian Jordanians made their lives as farmers as Jordan did not invest significantly in modifying the infrastructure of the area. Finally, in violation of the terms of the Jordanian-Israeli armistice agreement, Jordan forbid both Israelis (including non-Jewish Israelis) and Jews (from outside of Israel) to visit any of the Jerusalem holy sites and proceeded to demolish numerous historic synagogues, abuse the Western Wall holy site, and to use gravestones from historic Jewish cemeteries to build latrines for Jordanian army barracks.Gaza Strip Under the Egyptian ControlThe Egyptians established the "All-Palestine Government" with a seat in Gaza City on September 22, 1948. The All-Palestine Government was supposed to be the forerunner to an eventual Palestinian State that would entirely replace Israel and occupy all of the former British Mandate. Hajj Amin Al-Husseini, one of the major Arab leaders in the former British Mandate of Palestine was declared President. However, this government was merely a puppet government with no administration, no civil service, no money, and no real army of its own. All of the economic, political, and social decisions were made by the occupying Egyptian military. There was no investment in the Gaza Strip during the All-Palestine Government period and the infrastructure began to crumble. Additionally, since Egypt made no moves to grant Egyptian citizenship to the Palestinians, all Palestinian refugees (whether in camps or not) were dependent on UNRWA making a Palestinian Crisis in the area.When Israel overran Gaza in the Arab-Israeli War of 1956, the Egyptians relocated the All-Palestine Government's official offices to Cairo, Egypt. When Israel withdrew to the 1949 boundaries in 1957, the All-Palestine government remained in in Cairo, showing how its "independence" was just a joke. In 1959, Egypt abolished the All-Palestine Government and brought the Gaza Strip under the United Arab Republic (which would later also include Syria). In this way, the Egyptians proceeded to effect a direct military occupation without actually annexing the region, meaning that Palestinians now were under direct Egyptian military occupation. The situation remained like this from 1959 until Israel's conquest of Gaza in 1967.Post-1967Since many Palestinian-Jordanians had crossed from the West Bank to the East Bank during Jordan's annexation of the West Bank, they formed a large population within Jordan even after the Six-Day War brought the West Bank under Israeli Occupation. Angered by their historic mistreatment under the Jordanians and the Jordanian failure to hold onto the West Bank, Palestinian Militants rose up against the Jordanian Government in 1970. King Hussein's response was to violently crush the uprising. The two sides fought a war from September 1970 to July 1971 called "Black September" or the "Jordanian Civil War". Estimates of the Palestinian dead are between 300 and 20,000, but typical estimates are around the 15,000 mark, making this event in Jordan more deadly to Palestinians than the entire Israeli-Palestinian Conflict.
Is Israel right in killing Palestine?
It is unclear what "killing Palestine" means. Palestine is landmass and cannot be killed in any current understanding of that term. If "killing Palestine" is meant to mean "killing Palestinians", then no, Israel has no right to arbitrarily kill Palestinians. However, Israel currently finds itself in a situation where Palestinians Militants are attacking Israeli civilians and attempting to penetrate Israeli borders. These violent acts invoke Israel's right to self-defense, which Israel has just like every other nation has. In those cases, Israel has the right to defend itself up to and including the elimination of the threat.

What has Britain contributed to the war in Gaza?
Nothing. The United Kingdom has absolutely nothing to do with the conflict in Gaza. (It would be like asking "What does Australia have to do with the Indo-Pakistani Wars?") The closest that Britain comes to contributing to the conflict is that over 60 years ago, Gaza and Israel were both part of the British Mandate of Palestine and the decision to give the United Nations the jurisdiction to direct the future of that Mandate came from the United Kingdom. The resulting formation of Israel and the later founding of the Palestinian Authority was as a result of the UN's decision, not from Britain.

Politically, the British wanted Jewish Militias in Palestine as well as wealthy pro-Zionist patrons to join the British War Effort and therefore promoted the Balfour Declaration as a way of getting that aid.

Why did the British give up their right to mandate Palestine to the UN?
Answer 1The British mandatory gave up Palestine because it wanted Jews to live and own Palestine at the same time it did not want the Arabs to hate them so they let the USA to take over. the British also knew that the USA will give the Jews what they wanted because some Jews lived in USA and also the formation of the Irgun began at the USA.Answer 2The British Mandatory government starting with the White Papers in 1939 and increasingly restrictive practices was actively seeking to prevent the creation of a Jewish State. This was in order to curry favor with the Arabs whose oil the British greatly desired. Angered that the British were betraying their promise to both the Jews directly in the Balfour Declaration and their requirements pursuant to the League of Nations Mandate, Jewish terrorist organizations in Mandatory Palestine attacked British fortifications. The Irgun and Lehi (the two such organizations) caused sufficient problems for the British and forced their hand in the International Community. Not wanting to try to keep the peace between the increasingly militant Jewish militias (like the Haganah and Palmach) from the increasingly militant Arab militias (like the Holy War Army and the Arab Liberation Army), the British referred the question of Mandatory Palestine to the United Nations. This way, they would not have to lose more British soldiers in the quagmire.
