Israel gained independence from the British who were the colonizers of the Mandate of Palestine.
However, most of what the Israelis term the "Israeli Independence War" was fought against the Palestinians, Jordanians, Egyptians, Syrians, Lebanese, and Iraqis. (Along with extra regiments from Yemen and Saudi Arabia.)

∙ 7y agoIsrael gained its independence from the UNITED KINGDOM, but the year was 1948, not 1942.
Israel was previously the BRITISH MANDATE FOR PALESTINE, which was a territory in the Middle East under British Occupation. Contrary to the view that Israel became independent from "Palestine", the territory was not an autonomous country or region called Palestine prior to independence. To say this would be as absurd as saying that the United States gained independence from the Native Americans instead of saying that it got independence from Great Britain.
