In 1944, Israel/Palestine was under British sovereignty as the British Mandate for Palestine.
The British Mandate of Palestine was the only mandate with an Arab-Jewish controversy.
The British ruled the regions would become Iraq, Jordan, Israel, and Palestine as Mandates. From 1919-1921 the only two British Mandates in the Middle East were those of Iraq and Palestine. In 1922, the Mandate of Palestine was divided into the Mandate of Palestine and the Mandate of Transjordan.

In the British Mandate of Palestine.
Before the Israeli declaration of independence in 1948, the land was the British Mandate of Palestine. The United Nations had decided to split Palestine into four zones, with two zones going to the Jews and two zones to the Palestinians, providing approximately half of the former Palestine to each. The Palestinian share was gradually reduced, until the UN defined a "Green Line", providing the Palestinians somewhat more than the 1967 borders.
