The League of Nations gave Britain a mandate to govern the lands west of the Jordan River. The League of Nations disintegrated as a result of the Second World War and was eventually replaced by the United Nations.
When the Jews realised that Britain was moving towards granting independence to the Palestinian Mandate on a democratic single-state basis, the Jews began a program of terrorism designed to drive Britain out of Palestine. Britain handed the "problem" over to the United Nations, which initially favoured a division that provided approximately equal shares of the land to each side. After initiating a civil war in which many of the Palestinians fled the future state of Israel, Israel unilaterally declared independence. For one day, 11th May 1949, Israel consented to negotiate United Nations proposals, during which time Israel was accepted as a member of the United Nations, then Israel reneged on any further discussions.

What countries govern Israel or Palestine?
The question is clearly two separate questions: 1). What country governs Israel ? 2). What country governs Palestine ? Answers: 1). Israel is an independent sovereign nation, declared in 1948, a member of the United Nations, and currently recognized by all but roughly 35 of the nations of the world. The nation is a self governed representative democracy, with a popularly elected parliament. 2). There is at present no nation known as "Palestine". The "Palestinian" people are a relatively loose amalgam of Middle-Eastern residents who identify themselves according to a number of different unifying criteria, including their relationship to descendents who at one time resided on lands that are now part of Israel. The Palestinian people currently reside in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza. The West Bank of the Jordan river is legally part of the Kingdom of Jordan, but is administered by Fatah. Gaza is legally part of Egypt, but is administered by Hamas.

How and when does Namibia became a trust territory?
United Nations trust territories were the successors of the remaining League of Nations mandates and came into being when the League of Nations ceased to exist in 1946. All of the trust territories were administered through the UN Trusteeship Council. The one territory not turned over was South-West Africa, which South Africa insisted remained under the League of Nations Mandate, and which eventually gained independence in 1990 as Namibia. The main objection was that the trust territory guidelines required that the lands be prepared for independence and majority rule.
