A Mandate is a declaration of intent, meaning the mandating country will control the zone and support the people who inhabit it until they are ready to declare independence.

Whom did Israel gain its independence from?

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.
