Only one country controlled the area of the Mandate for Palestine prior to Israeli Independence: the British Empire.
Answer 1PalestineAnswer 2Israel gained its independence from the UNITED KINGDOM.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.
It existed long before there was a Palestine.
The British did not rule Palestine during the Arab-Israeli War of 1948-9, leaving just before the war began. It was actually the British withdrawal from Mandatory Palestine that allowed Israel to declare independence. This declaration, in turn, was what precipitated the Arab invasion of the former British Mandate of Palestine and of Israel specifically. As for why the British were ruling Mandatory Palestine from 1919-1948, this was as a result of the Treaty of Versailles which gave numerous former Ottoman Territories to Great Britain and France to supervise as they organized properly for their future independence.
