Britain.
Answer2.
The territory of Palestine, i.e. the geographical area that included modern Jordan( it comprises over 70% of Palestine), Gaza, Israel ( including Judea and Samaria), Southern part of Syria and Soutehrn part of Lebanon, was by the decision of the League of Nations passed under the mandate of Great Britain with the condition that Great Britain would make it "The Home for Jewish People".
Great Britain, in pursue of its political goals, breached this condition and passed over 70% of the territory of Palestine to Arab clan of Hashemites, proclaiming Abdallah, the son of the small Arabian war-lord Hussein ibn Ali al-Hashimi , the Emir of Transjordan and then he proclaimed himself the King.
That was the beginning of the conflict known as the Arab-Israeli conflict that lasts already more than 70 years.
As a matter of fact, Great Britain did not rule in Palestine; it was a Mandate Power whose role was to create the necessary conditions for making the territory under its Mandate ready for becoming independent nations.

Palestine. Before that it was called Judea, and before that it was Israel. Its first name was Canaan.

The territory was administrated as part of three different wilayaat or governates: the Wilayat Beirut (which consisted of much of Lebanon and northern Israel/Palestine), Mutasaffirat al-Qods (which consisted of Jerusalem and the surrounding area in central Israel/Palestine), and Wilayat Dimashq (which consisted of much of Syria, Jordan, and the southern Negev Desert in Israel). The Palestinian Arabs had little to no power in the administration or politics of any of the three wilayaat, which were ruled entirely by Turkish nobility in Beirut, Damascus, and Istanbul.

Were the countries of both Israel and Palestine before or after the Arab-Israeli Conflict?
There was no country of Israel prior to 1948 (when Israel declared independence in Tel Aviv), although there had been Jewish States in the area 2000 years earlier. There was no country of Palestine prior to 1988 (when Palestine declared independence in Tunis, Tunisia). There had never been an Arab State with its center in the southern Levant prior to this and the last Arab Empire to rule the southern Levant lost control to the Ottomans nearly 500 years ago. The Arab-Israeli Conflict began in the 1920s between the the Yishuv (Jewish Settlers who would eventually become the Israelis) & their allies and the Arab Fellahin (Arab peasants who would eventually become the Palestinians) & the surrounding Arab countries. So, both Israel and Palestine came about as a result of the continuing conflict.

Did Israel have Gaza first?
The map (see link below) shows a country called Palestine. Some Jews invaded in 1948 and changed the name to Israel. They took more and more land until there was just a small area called Gaza for the surviving Palestinians to live in. Israel didn't have Gaza first, Palestine had Palestine first.
