Britain did not promise the Arabs anything in 1914.
From July 1915 to January 1916, the British wrote the Hussein-McMahon Correspondence which was a set of letters between the British High Commissioner in Egypt (Sir Henry McMahon) and the Sharif of Mecca (Hussein ibn Ali). In these letters, the British promised the Arabs a unitary Arab State in the Middle East that would cover most of the Middle East. However, some areas were excepted, mostly along the Syrian coast.
It is unclear whether or not Mandatory Palestine was also excepted because the terms are ambiguous. Arabs argue that since Palestine is not mentioned explicitly as an exception (whereas specific Syrian cities are mentioned), Palestine was included. The British and the Jews aregue that the reservation was for areas west of Damascus and all of Palestine is west of Damascus.

What is the most likely reason why Germany sent a telegram to Mexico?
When the Telegram was sent in early 1917, Germany was about to renew unrestricted submarine warfare, which the US did not like. They assumed that when they renewed it, the US would be angry and would probably declare war on Germany. And it turned out that they were right.
Since the mid-1800's, the US and Mexico had problems with each other. Texas had been settled by Americans who eventually started a revolt and broke away; Texas later joined the US, and that act caused a war between US and Mexico, which the US easily won and the US took what is now California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah and New Mexico from Mexico. About 60 years later, Mexico was still pretty upset about that.
Plus, shortly before World War I started, Mexico had an internal war, the Mexican Revolution, start up. The dictator who had ruled for the past 40 years finally went too far and rigged an election, and people revolted against him. The war was a big mess, and the US got involved a few times, which upset Mexicans further. Tensions between the two countries were very high.
Germany hoped to take advantage of those tensions to get Mexico to join the war on the side of Germany. That would force the US to divert its attention away from Europe- if the US sent all of her armies to Europe to fight against Germany, then there would be no armies left to stop a Mexican attempt to retake California, Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, and the rest of the territory the US had been able to take from Mexico over the previous decades. Germany promised Mexico that if the Central Powers won, Germany would see to it that Mexico would get back some of the territory lost since 1836.
